Brain Injuries Affect Thousands of Oregonians Each Year

  • More than 80,000 Oregonians have seen their lives turned upside down by a traumatic brain injury. 

  • “In the weeks following my accident, I awoke each day in total confusion to face a life-changing nightmare of unanswered questions, grief and feelings of helplessness.”  --  Steve Wright 

  • “Living with a brain injury is difficult. But through involvement in the support groups and the brain injury community, I have made life changes needed to handle my injury.” -- Eric Peterson 

  • “In the past couple of months, I have actually been living my life instead of surviving my life.” -- Laurel Russell 

  • Steve, Eric and Laurel are just three brain injury survivors who have found help and hope from the Brain Injury Association of Oregon.

 

We’re The People Who Help

The Brain Injury Association of Oregon (BIAOR) was founded in 1984 by brain injury survivors, family members and concerned professionals. We are the only non-profit, statewide organization improving the lives of people with brain injuries and their families.

 

The People We Help

  • They have brain injuries from automobile crashes, strokes, toxic chemicals such as chemo therapy and toxic mold, firearms, sports concussions, blast injuries, on-the-job falls or recreational accidents.

  • Traumatic brain injuries are common. Nationally, they occur every 23 seconds. Each year they affect 1.4 million Americans and cause long-term disability to more than 1,500 Oregonians. 

  • A brain injury is nothing families expect or plan for. Victims and their families suddenly face a frightening situation.  Desperate for answers, they often get complex and confusing information.  Confusion can turn to grief and hopelessness.

  • Information about brain injury, services, health care and prevention, including in-service educational program

  • Assistance to support groups for survivors and their families

  • Policy advocacy for programs and service

  • Resource sharing for medical professionals and service providers
