Brain Injury Association of Washington

BIAWA's vision is a world where brain injury is prevented, and every person already affected by its impact benefits from resources that maximize his/her quality of life. Our mission is to increase awareness, support, and hope for those affected by brain injury through education, assistance, and advocacy. An estimated 1.7 million children and adults in the US sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and another 795,000 individuals sustain an acquired brain injury (ABI) from non-traumatic causes each year. Currently more than 3.1 million children and adults in the US live with a lifelong disability as a result of TBI and an estimated 1.1 million have a disability due to stroke.
