The Head Injury Association of Northern Nevada was founded in 1982 (about the same time as the Brain Injury Association of America.) It's Mission Statement is: The Head Injury Association of Northern Nevada is the voice of advocacy for brain injury survivors, their families, and caregivers in the Greater Northern Nevada area. Our Mission is to help brain injury survivors put their lives back together “piece by piece” through support, empowerment, resources, public awareness education, and youth prevention programs.
Recent programs for its members include a 10 week course in Cognitive Training Development and a three month physical fitness training program. Our youth support group has been speaking about a case study on one of its members that was severely hurt in a professional motorcycle race.
