The Brain Injury Association of Minnesota is proud to announce the publication of the first annual Consumer Guide to Brain Injury Resources, available for free to anyone who requests it. The 110‑page, full‑color guide includes detailed consumer information and lists hundreds of service providers throughout Minnesota.

Consumers and professionals can also find information about support groups, brain injury symptoms and consequences, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
