We are peers with acquired brain injury, family and friends, and community members who strive to support and empower one another, helping to create the best possible lives for ourselves, and for our loved ones. We are from all walks of life. Many of us have sustained various types of acquired brain injury, includi

ng traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, and anoxia, or know someone who has. What We Do

Our mission is to connect those touched by brain injury to the people, resources, and services that best serve their needs. We are an umbrella organization that supports programs and services that serve the brain injury community in the Portland metropolitan area in the Pacific Northwest. We are here to share what we’ve learned, advance awareness of brain injury and better connect people with what they need, when they need it. We value collaboration and look forward to expanding our community partnerships with like-minded organizations. Why We Are Here

Our vision is to improve the quality of life of those affected by brain injury. Brain injuries are complex and often misunderstood. Navigating life after a brain injury can be challenging for the individual and those who support someone who has sustained the injury. Our mission is to make that journey easier by providing an inclusive environment that fosters support, education, and collaboration between survivors, care partners, and the community. How We Do It

We have monthly Peer Support Group Meetings as well as workshops and social events. We have Peer Support Meetings and separate Family & Friends Support Meetings. Join our mailing list to receive updates, announcements, and meeting reminders at [email protected]. Find out more about Portland-area peer support meetings, activities and events, by following the link to the Community Calendar. We have also included wonderful local and regional resources on our Resources page. Be sure to take a look to see if any of these resources can be of help to you.

Happy World Greatness Day!

Today is a day we get the opportunity to celebrate someone who has made an impact in our lives, whether that be a friend, family member, role model, pet, or fictional character.

While we have many amazing volunteers who keep our programs running with love and compassion, today we would like to highlight Carolina!

She is a survivor who found us and has worked her way up to fully leading one of our most popular programs.

She is an amazing person, and has helped guide many new to us survivors into finding a place they belong.
Thank you Carolina for being an amazing leader and influence in the community and for BIC-NW

August is full of our regular events and the 3rd of 4 portland sunday parkways and the last chance to see us this year at the Milwuakie Farmer's market.

You don't want to miss these two events as we have some *amazing* raffle prizes - did someone say e-scooter or super awesome 2nd row midfield behind the bench tickets for a Timber's game in September?

Details for both will be at our booths!

No Mt Tabor walk this month (sorry folks, we'll see you in September 🥰)

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

Brain injury affects more than just our physical bodies. Brain injury can change how we feel, act and interact with our environment around us.

Navigating the Brain injury itself can be overwhelming, but the feelings of loss and isolation for both the survivor and their friends, family and caregivers often can be more than we should ever carry alone.

While social support groups do not replace professional help, they can help you to get plugged into a community that understands what you're going through.

Pair social groups like we have here at Brain Injury Connections - Northwest with the mental health support of a professional or those at and you have a solid step towards tools and community.
