• We produce a newsletter, every three months, listing resources and activities for survivors.
• We have a resource library where you can borrow books and articles to help understand some aspect of the injury.
• We support TEAM TERRIFIC, a brain injury prevention program, its delivery to high risk youth at local high schools.
• We sell the TEAM TERRIFIC presentation to other Brain Injury Associations so they can deliver the program to high risk youth in their community.
