The mission of the Brain Injury Association of Iowa is to create a better future through brain injury prevention, advocacy, education, research, and support. BIAIA works to support individuals who experience brain injury, their families, friends and the professionals who support them in Iowa. Our primary service line includes Brain Injury Resource Facilitation (BIRF), a fee-free service offered by

the Brain Injury Association of Iowa to help people with brain injury and their families, caregivers, and community navigate medical and general life challenges after a brain injury. We offer support in coping with the issues of living with brain injury and transitioning back to work and the community, and we help connect individuals and families with the services and supports they may need.

This Memorial Day, the Brain Injury Association of Iowa honors and remembers the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

We also recognize the veterans, service members, and families impacted by brain injury, and the strength it takes to navigate recovery and loss.

At Brain Injury Association of Iowa, support is always available. Our statewide network offers peer support groups, including weekly online support groups and monthly stroke support groups, along with in-person options across Iowa. We also provide brain injury resource facilitation, education, and connections to local services for individuals and families seeking guidance.

If you or someone you love needs support, you are not alone—help and community are here. Find resources: https://biaia.org/services/neuro-resource-facilitation/

Today, we pause in remembrance, gratitude, and solidarity.
