Brain Injury Advocacy/Charities in California

Advocating for victims of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) is another important aspect of living with these injuries. The reality is that they are incredibly expensive, both in terms of the financial strain that treatment, medication, and other medical needs put on you and in terms of the emotional and psychological strain they can have on you and your family.

That said, California has plenty of organizations that provide advocacy for these victims through charitable contributions and garnering attention. Here are some of the more prominent ones in California:

• Brain Injury Association of California (BIACAL) - This organization provides resources, support, and advocacy for individuals and families affected by brain injury. They offer educational programs, support groups, and legislative advocacy to improve services for brain injury survivors.
  
  
• California Brain Injury Network (CBIN) - CBIN is a statewide organization dedicated to improving the lives of Californians affected by brain injuries through education, advocacy, and support services. It relies on charitable donations to help victims and to improve their services.
  
  
• California Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) - The DOR offers services to help brain injury victims achieve independence and employment. They provide vocational rehabilitation, assistive technology, and other resources to support individuals in their recovery and integration into the community.

These organizations vary in their focus and scope of services, so if you are a TBI victim or care for one, you can get specific information for available advocacy and charitable opportunities you can have.
