Brain Energy Support Team

We are reaching out to ask for your help to restore funding and representation for people living with brain injury in Washington State. Many of you know that in 2020 WA DSHS stopped funding support groups and other critical programs for the brain injury community.

A dedicated group of people have been working hard with legislators to correct this situation and restore funding to brain injury support groups and representation and transparency to the TBI Council. State Representative Jessica Bateman is presenting Bill HB 2248 on Friday, 19 January 2024, to the Washington State Legislature.

You can help! Visit our partner, Brain Injury Community Alliance at https://www.bialliance.org/2024/01/08/quick-guide/ and make your voice heard! It's easy. It's important.
