Frequently Asked Questions

We are an interdisciplinary team of specialists that work together with individuals and families living with the long-term impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI). 

Our goal is to restore hope, improve function, and empower those affected by TBI to live confidently. 

A traumatic brain injury, often abbreviated as TBI, is an injury to a person's brain resulting from a blow to the head or an external force that has caused rapid movement of the brain within the skull. 

Traumatic brain injuries are classified into three categories — mild, moderate, and severe. Concussions are a type of mild traumatic brain injury.

Some of the most common causes of TBIs are motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, falls, intimate partner violence, combat injuries, and assaults.
