Brain Injury Alliance of Nebraska

Brain injuries impact multiple areas of a person’s life such as cognition, memory, balance, emotional stability, relationships, and more. Currently, few resources and supports are available to people living with a brain injury. Here at the Brain Injury Alliance of Nebraska, we exist to help bring about meaningful system change to provide a better future for individuals affected by a brain injury. We work to build community support networks that help individuals and families across the state navigate life changes resulting from a brain injury.

Our Services

Resource Facilitation

We work collaboratively with individuals and community service providers to develop a support system for individuals living with a brain injury. We listen to the needs of the individual and work together to help solve problems/challenges faced by the person whose life has been impacted by a brain injury. This can include but is not limited to finding and sharing informational resources, making referrals to service providers, connecting individuals with peer support groups, and providing personalized case management services.

Community Education

We work to educate individuals and communities and bring awareness to the impact of brain injury through educational presentations, brain injury training, and awareness campaigns. This includes educating families, communities, and organizations about the unique needs of individuals with brain injuries to help remove the stigma and confusion about brain injury, as well as about ways to prevent or reduce the risk of brain injuries.

Advocacy

We advocate for the brain injury community at the state government level by following legislative proceedings and speaking for or against bills as it benefits individuals affected by a brain injury.
