In 1981, a group of concerned parents of children who had sustained
brain injury and several healthcare professionals treating these
children founded the Association to assure that needed services and
supports were available to New Jersey citizens with brain injury and
their family members. Now more than 25 years later, the Brain Injury
Association of New Jersey continues to be led by a Board of Trustees
comprised of members of the brain injury community and civic leaders.
From its inception, the Association has been the New Jersey affiliate
of the Brain Injury Association of America.
