BRAIN INJURY has become a familiar term with frequent references in the news, especially when connected with military conflicts and sports injuries. No one knows the full picture of brain injury until it becomes personal. It is at times like these that accurate and timely information is needed. The Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City (BIAKS-GKC) provides information and resources, training, support group information, education on preventing brain injuries as well as a caring ear when needed.
