ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION
“THE MISSION OF BIAK IS TO PROMOTE BRAIN HEALTH AND RECOVERY
THROUGH ADVOCACY, EDUCATION, PREVENTION AND OUTREACH.”
This journal represents the collective work of many people from across Kentucky
who devote their time in helping persons affected by an Acquired Brain Injury
(ABI) better understand what is happening and where they can look for assistance.
We use the phrase Acquired Brain Injury to represent any injury to the brain that
occurs after birth and is neither congenital nor degenerative. That includes brain
injuries from all accidents, assaults and abuse as well as, injuries that have a
medical cause such as brain tumors/cancer, strokes, aneurisms or any incident that
cuts off oxygen to the brain.
The information in this journal has been designed with you in mind. In the front of
this journal are articles that are intended to better equip you to handle brain injury.
In the back, you will find information about the many resources that are available
to you. We have placed important telephone numbers in the back and have
given you room to write down phone numbers that are important to you. More
information is always available from BIAK and you can reach us at 502-493-0609
or on-line at www.biak.us.
