Case Management
Our community-based case management is available for FREE to survivors of all ages and incomes in the Brain Injury Solutions (BIS) service area.
​
Direct case management services are designed to meet the unique needs of survivors of brain injury by linking survivors with medical services, individual and family counseling, cognitive re-training, recreational activities, and positive behavioral training. BIS also helps survivors and their families advocate for care that will help meet their needs. Case management services are individualized and community-based. BIS provides case management services to pediatric consumers (under 18) including helping families learn about their child's injury and provide advocacy support and educational supports such as with IEPs.
