I HAVE A BRAIN INJURY

Brain injury changes your life, whether other people can see it or not. For many people, life after brain injury can feel like walking the wrong way up an escalator. It can be challenging to connect with others who might not understand why it takes longer to find words, why you might need more rest, or why you might move a little differently than before.

At the Brain Injury Association of North Carolina, we want you to know that you are not alone. Living with a brain injury does not change who you are. You are a survivor, a warrior, a champion. You have overcome and conquered challenges and you have so much to offer your community. We are here to help.
