Experiencing a (traumatic) brain injury is life altering. Parenting after a brain injury can be daunting and equally life altering.

Join us for an hour-long presentation and discussion on how individuals who are living with a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury can modify parenting responsibilities and remain effective. A few of the topics to be discussed include:

➡️ Changes in family dynamics
➡️ Keeping children safe and healthy
➡️ Supporting children's education, managing their activities, and providing parental emotional support all while simultaneously navigating your symptoms of fatigue, headaches, pain, anxiety, depression, and decreased cognitive capacity.

There's still a chance to participate in our this year's Adopt a Family program! Each year, we connect generous donors with families impacted by brain injury who could use a little extra support during the holidays.

Here’s how it works:
🎁 You’ll be matched with a family or individual and receive their Amazon wish list or gift requests.
🎁 All gifts are sent directly to the family, keeping their address private.
🎁 Prefer to keep it simple? Gift cards are always appreciated and make it easy for families to get what they need most.

Whether you’re an individual, family, or workplace group — your kindness brings comfort, joy, and hope to families impacted by brain injury this holiday season. Learn more at https://www.bianj.org/adopt-a-family/

Thank you to everyone who donated (and doubled their impact) during our campaign! Because of your generosity, BIANJ is able to continue to support those affected by brain injury.

We are $5,000 away from reaching our goal--will you help us get there? Today is the last chance to double your impact: 🔗 bianj.org/donate

The holiday season can amplify stress, sensory overload, communication barriers, and emotional expectations for people living with brain injury and the families who support them.

This session—led by a social worker and speech-language pathologist—offers practical, actionable strategies to navigate communication, routines, and interpersonal dynamics during the holidays. Participants will learn tools to reduce overwhelm, support autonomy, and foster meaningful connection while honoring each survivor’s needs and capacity.

📢 Inspired by generosity so far today, our match was just doubled! Be a part of a chance to make an even bigger difference today.

This we’re spotlighting the CARES Program—where survivors and families receive the compassion, structure, and support they need to rebuild their lives after brain injury. Help BIANJ support brain injury survivors like John who survived two brain injuries and has been working closely with Elizabeth on BIANJ’s Support Services Team. Last month, Elizabeth helped John move into a new residential program. As a housewarming gift he received a new plant because he wanted something to take care of. He named his new plant, Liz. 🎥 Learn more about John’s story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhDZglVUrOY

Will you help us to reach our goal of $15,000 to help BIANJ connect survivors like John with the services they need? 🔗 https://www.bianj.org/donate
