Head Injury Association

Our mission is to maximize Traumatic Brain Injury survivors' potential by providing the necessary residential and support programs to help them achieve four valued outcomes: Individualization, Independence, Integration and Productivity. We are committed to increasing public awareness of TBI and its consequences. As a result, HIA offers innovative and effective solutions to many of the problems head injured survivors and their families are faced with. The Head Injury Association is an independent, not-for-profit agency, widely recognized for its innovative programming for survivors of head injury and their families. We seek to increase public awareness of TBI (traumatic brain injury) and its consequences, and thereby obtain some solutions to the many problems facing Long Island's survivors and their families. We strive, by political and educational means, to ensure that head injured individuals have all requisite medical, rehabilitiation, vocational and recreational systems available and are able to live with dignity in a comfortable and accessible environment. When the crisis of head injury suddenly occurs, each family's reaction and means of coping will be different. We recognize the devastating impact of TBI and provide a network of services specifically designed to meet the initial and lifetime needs of survivors and caregivers facing this crisis. We are here to assist with information and support to help you adapt in your own way. http://www.headinjuryassoc.org
