Did you know a brain injury occurs every 23 seconds? Or, can you believe the number of people who annually sustain a brain injury is six times greater than the total number of new multiple sclerosis, HIV and breast cancer cases combined? Yet, brain injury is often overlooked and therefore makes it a silent epidemic.

In 1984 a small group of families and providers came together to form what is now the Brain Injury Association of Minnesota. It was a grassroots effort to advocate for services at a time when resources were limited at best for persons with brain injury and their families. Today it is still the only statewide nonprofit organization in Minnesota devoted solely to serving the needs of the estimated 100,000 Minnesotans (12,000 children and young adults) who live with disability due to brain injury, their families and the professionals who work with them.
