Brain Injury Resources for Survivors and Families

Recovering from a brain injury takes more than good medical care. After decades of representing TBI survivors, and through our work with Colorado’s leading brain injury organizations, we have seen which resources actually help families. Here are the ones we recommend to our clients most often, in Colorado and nationally.

Colorado Resources

Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado (BIAC)

BIAC is Colorado’s go-to organization for brain injury survivors and their families. It offers adult and youth programs, peer mentorship, support groups, educational materials, and professional training. It also hosts community events like the Pikes Peak Challenge to raise awareness and funding. Ogborn Mihm is proud to serve on BIAC’s Board of Directors. Visit biacolorado.org.

MINDSOURCE Brain Injury Network

MINDSOURCE, part of the Colorado Department of Human Services, is the state’s lead agency for brain injury. It supports brain injury research and services, provides training and technical assistance statewide, and administers the Colorado Brain Injury Trust Fund, which is funded by surcharges on certain motor vehicle convictions. Our attorneys have also served on the MINDSOURCE Board of Directors. Visit mindsourcecolorado.org.

BrainSTEPS Colorado (Colorado Department of Education)

BrainSTEPS (Strategies Teaching Educators, Parents, and Students) is a school re-entry consulting program. It helps teachers, parents, and schools identify brain injuries in students and build a safe, workable return-to-school plan. Visit BrainSTEPS Colorado.

National Resources

Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA)

BIAA works to improve quality of life for everyone affected by brain injury through advocacy, education, research, and support services. That includes information on treatment options, webinars, and caregiver support. Visit biausa.org.

CDC: Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussion

The CDC’s TBI pages cover definitions, symptoms, prevention, and treatment guidance, along with national data on who is most affected. Its HEADS UP initiative teaches parents, coaches, and athletes how to prevent and manage concussions. Visit CDC Traumatic Brain Injury.

NICHD: Traumatic Brain Injury Resources

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development maintains TBI resources on symptoms, treatment, research, and prevention, including fact sheets and links to scientific studies for patients, families, and providers. Visit NICHD TBI Resources.

Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT)

CATT provides free training and resources for recognizing, managing, and recovering from concussions, including return-to-school and return-to-sport guidance. Visit cattonline.com.
