Brain Injury Association of North Carolina

Welcome to the
Brain Injury Association of North Carolina

Currently, there are at least 5.3 million Americans living with a disability because of a brain injury. Every 23 seconds a traumatic brain injury occurs, and in the next year, an average of 1.4 million Americans will sustain a traumatic brain injury.

Founded in 1982 by families and concerned professionals, the Brain Injury Association of North Carolina (BIANC) is a non-profit membership organization that advocates on behalf of individuals with brain injury and their families. A chartered affiliate of the Brain Injury Association of America, BIANC currently has Family and Community Support Centers in Raleigh, Charlotte, Greenville, Asheville, and a volunteer resource center in High Point. BIANC also offers a toll-free Family Helpline, resource centers, educational programs, and over 40 support groups, which meet in many communities across the state. Please explore our site to learn more about our organization. Our goal is to help create a voice for survivors and families to let others know about the challenges and needs of this special population.

If you or someone you love has sustained a brain injury and need information, please call the Brain Injury Association of North Carolina at 800-377-1464.
