🤝 How BIS Helps

Fortunately, BIS is here to help turn tragedy into hope! Not only is BIS here to fill the huge need of support during a challenging time, BIS provides this support free of charge for survivors of brain injury and their families. This happens thanks to the support from the state of Virginia, localities, organizations, individual donors, and event participants such as yourself!

📈 Case Management Support

BIS main area of support is through case management. Case managers assist survivors in becoming more independent, achieving their goals, and reintegrating into their communities through:

• Volunteer/job placement: Helping survivors find work opportunities.
• Life skills: Providing essential life skills training.
• Education assistance: Supporting educational advancement.
• Support programs: Offering additional resources and help.

Here's an example of the service you are supporting: a participant of case management expressed interest in living on his own following an operation, a stint in a rehabilitation hospital, and while living with family. After a lot of research, Linda, our case manager, was able to locate an accessible and affordable apartment!

🎉 Participant Success Story

Our participant has been overjoyed with his new place, which was made possible through donors and event participants such as yourself!
