The
Brain Injury Association of Michigan is a non-profit organization
that brings together people with brain injury, their families, friends, and concerned
professionals to improve the quality of life that people
experience after brain injury.
More than 27 years
ago, a group of concerned families, living with brain injury founded
the Association to ensure
that needed services and supports were available for people with
brain injuries and their families. Incorporated in 1981, the Association
was one of the first state associations chartered by the Brain Injury
Association of America. Affiliated groups include local support group
chapters throughout Michigan and the Michigan Brain Injury Providers
Council.
The Association is governed by a 15 member
Board of Directors from across the state of Michigan.
Our Mission
The mission of the Brain Injury Association
of Michigan (BIAMI) is to enhance the lives of those affected by
brain injury through education, advocacy, research, and local support
groups; and to reduce the incidence of brain injury through prevention.
Our Vision
The Brain Injury Association of Michigan's
vision is to be recognized as a strong, viable, voluntary health
agency providing leadership on traumatic and acquired brain injury
through a broad range of services, and supporting research on brain
injury treatment. |
