Everyone deserves the opportunity to contribute their talents, build meaningful careers, and thrive in the workplace!

In recognition of Lawrence Disability Month, the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts (BIA-MA) was pleased to participate in the City of Lawrence's celebration of disability employment and inclusion.

BIA-MA hosted an exhibit table, sharing brain injury information, educational materials, and resources with attendees while connecting with community organizations and local partners.

For individuals living with brain injury, meaningful employment can play an important role in promoting independence, building confidence, and improving quality of life. Access to workplace accommodations, vocational rehabilitation, and supportive services can help individuals overcome barriers and achieve their employment goals.

Thank you to the City of Lawrence for bringing the community together to recognize the talents, abilities, and contributions of individuals with disabilities.

BIA-MA remains committed to raising awareness and promoting opportunities that support individuals living with brain injury in the workplace and throughout their communities.

Happy Halloween! 👻

Hundreds of red shoes surrounded the Brewer Fountain on Boston Common on Wednesday, October 28, creating a powerful visual reminder of the lives lost and individuals affected by domestic and gender-based violence.

The installation, Zapatos Rojos (Red Shoes), was created by Mexican artist Elina Chauvet in 2009 following the murder of her sister by an intimate partner. Since then, the exhibit has traveled around the world, raising awareness and honoring victims of violence.

According to an analysis by the Geiger Institute and Jane Doe Inc., domestic violence-related homicides accounted for 17% of all homicides in Massachusetts between 2020 and 2024, increasing to nearly 24% in 2024.

The Often-Overlooked Connection Between Domestic Violence and Brain Injury

Domestic violence can cause traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from blows to the head and other physical assaults. Strangulation can also cause brain injury by depriving the brain of oxygen. These injuries often go unrecognized and untreated.

A recent national study, A Methodological Examination of Intimate Partner Violence-Related Traumatic Brain Injury in a National Panel Survey, featuring NASHIA Innovation Center Director Jill Daugherty as first author, highlights concerning findings:

🔹 9% of women reported experiencing a possible or probable intimate partner violence-related TBI during their lifetime.
🔹 Nearly 75% of individuals who experienced an IPV-related head or facial injury were never examined by a healthcare professional following their most severe injury.
🔹 28.5% of women who did not seek medical care reported that their current or former partner actively prevented them from receiving treatment.

The Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts (BIA-MA) recognizes the importance of increasing awareness, improving identification of brain injuries among domestic violence survivors, and connecting individuals with appropriate services and support.

Disability advocates gathered at the Massachusetts State House this week to raise concerns about federal actions that could weaken protections established under Olmstead v. L.C., the landmark 1999 U.S. Supreme Court decision affirming the rights of people with disabilities to receive services and supports in their communities rather than being unnecessarily institutionalized.

Governor Maura Healey joined 17 other governors in reaffirming their commitment to protecting these rights. The Disability Policy Consortium also plans to introduce legislation in the next Massachusetts legislative session to establish additional safeguards.

For individuals living with brain injury, access to community-based services is essential to maintaining independence, dignity, and quality of life.

BIA-MA advocates for policies, programs, and resources that support individuals affected by brain injury, including access to rehabilitation and community-based services that allow people to live as independently as possible.

Community living is a civil right, not a privilege.
