Committed to Lifting Lives Through Education, Resources, and Community Support

At the Brain Injury Association of California (BIAC), our driving philosophy is encapsulated in the motto, "We rise by lifting others." This embodies our unwavering commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Californians affected by brain injury. We have dedicated our efforts to cultivating a greater understanding of brain injuries, nurturing supportive community networks, and bridging the gap between affected individuals and essential services.

What distinguishes BIAC from other organizations is our deep-rooted commitment to long-term outcomes. We focus on not just immediate support but also on empowering individuals with knowledge, resources, and community connection for their life's journey post-injury. We believe in the power of education in transforming lives, and therefore, we invest considerable efforts in establishing comprehensive educational platforms.

Recognizing the far-reaching impacts of brain injuries on survivors' lives, we extend our support beyond the survivors to their families and the broader community. Our programs are designed to reach individuals where they live, work, and play. We make it our mission to ensure that they are never far from the services and resources they need, thereby providing care as close to home as possible.

At BIAC, we understand that brain injury not only affects the individual but also dramatically impacts the surrounding community. We offer services to support survivors, family members, and community members alike, fostering an environment of understanding, empathy, and mutual support. In essence, the Brain Injury Association of California is more than an organization; it is a community dedicated to lifting each other, driven by the belief that together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by brain injury. Join us as we rise by lifting others.
