Thank you for your willingness to help!
Side by Side Brain Injury Clubhouse... is a place where people living with the lifelong effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are respected and valued as contributing community members.
Our rehabilitation focuses on the abilities, strengths and volunteer efforts of members who work side by side with staff to manage all operations of the Clubhouse. In this supportive environment, members once again learn to contribute in meaningful ways that carry over to work, home and community. Finally, a life-changing injury is transformed into a new normal for members and their families as they move from being a medical patient to living a full and satisfying life.
At least 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the United States each year. Of those individuals, about 52,000 die, 275,000 are hospitalized, and 1.365 million are treated and released from an emergency department. The number of people with TBI who are not seen in a hospital or emergency department or who receive no care is currently unknown. More Details>> Did You Know... The Leading Causes of TBI are... 50% - Vehicle Crashes/Injuries 21% - Falls 12% - Assaults/Violence 10% - Sports/Recreation 7% - Military
There have been 169,738 diagnoses of TBI in US service members since 2000 according to the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center. More Details>>
