The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey maintains a presence with state and local government to promote policies and legislation that prevent brain injury and enhance the care, services and support available to people with brain injuries and their families. In doing so, we advocate on behalf of the entire brain injury community. We make sure that New Jersey officials and our state’s representatives in the federal government are kept aware of issues as they relate to brain injury. The Association also helps people affected by brain injury learn how to advocate for the services and supports that they need in their lives.
