STATEWIDE TBI NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Thank you for your interest in our statewide needs assessment survey. The last day to provide your input was 8/31/22. Please check back later this Fall for the results.

To better understand the challenges and barriers that individuals with a brain injury, as well as their family members/unpaid caregivers experience, BIAKS is conducting a statewide survey to help us identify services that are available and valuable and potential gaps in assistance and or resources.

Results from the surveys, along with other data, will help organizations create a state-wide TBI needs assessment plan to improve services and resources in Kansas.

Once you finish the survey, you can enter your name to win an Amazon gift card.
The survey will be available until Thursday, August 18, 2022.
