Welcome to CATBI.org!

This site is intended for people with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), their support network, and agencies that provide services for veterans with a TBI.

This site provides information about TBI. This includes community resources available for people with a TBI, links to medical information about TBI, an opportunity to see what others people with TBI (consumers) are saying about resources, and problems they are having getting the services they need.

There will be links to networking opportunities including alternative media. A resource library will have news stories and written material about TBI. A call to action will provide information on legislation effecting people with TBI and how to get involved on a grassroots level in the process of letting state and local politicians know how to serve you.

For (ILCs) and others that provide services to people with TBI:

This site will provide a resource library to become more familiar with the causes, symptoms and accommodations for people with a TBI. It will address how to provide appropriate services to consumers.  There will be a frequently updated Expanding TBI Services Manual providing a model of how to expand services to consumers with TBI.

Webinars for ILCs will cover the following topics:

1. Barriers and needs facing TBI survivors and families/support network.
2. Educate ILCs about the VA services and system, including the case management approach that is used.
3. Educate ILCs about expanding services for consumers with TBI.
