Resources Abound to Help the Brain-Injured
Portland is one of the lucky U.S. cities with a large number of resources serving the special needs of the Northwest Regional brain-injured community. Brain Injury Connections Northwest (BIC-NW) is well equipped to help guide survivors and their loved ones, because we have deep knowledge of the latest resources designed to improve their lives.

An additional reason our group is passionately effective at helping the brain-injured and their families is we can relate first-hand to their challenges. Many workers and volunteers of BIC-NW have themselves sustained (or know someone who has) various types of injury, including:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Concussion
- Stroke
- Brain Tumors
- Anoxia (and more)
That’s why we have declared:
Our objective is to improve the quality of life of those impacted by brain injury to thrive.
Our empathy is real.

Recovery from a brain injury does not stop, and neither does BIC-NW. We are committed to serving people who are searching for connection. In 2025 we reached nearly 400 survivors and the people who love and care for them. Your support will make that possible.
