Some people who have sustained brain injuries are able to return to home, school, or work without difficulty, but many others require the ongoing services provided by state, county and community organizations. Our Regional Seminars address the needs of individuals with brain injuries served by health and human service workers throughout New Jersey.

In an effort to increase awareness of brain injury among health and human service professionals, the Association conducts a series of Regional Seminars each year. Through this program, we offer a free full-day training seminar each spring in northern, central and southern New Jersey. The first series of Regional Seminars took place in 2003. Now, over 300 health and human service professionals from a wide variety of agencies attend every year.

Funding

The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey is able to provide Regional Seminars with funding from the New Jersey Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Fund, which was created, in part, to provide for public education and prevention activities related to brain injury. The TBI Fund is administered by the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Disability Services.
