OUR MISSION

Help Survivors and Families of TBI's find the R.E.S.T. they need as they traverse through the process of Survival, Rehabilitation & Recovery from a TBI.

TBI's need R.E.S.T.: Traumatic Brain Injury Resources, Education, Support & Treatment !nformation.  It can be a long and confusing process to navigate through.  We are driven to helping others by providing information and access to a multitude of resources.

 

We are a 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Non Profit Organization committed to raising awareness through education in our surrounding communities on the prevention and treatment of TBI's, the impact on life after a TBI, and ultimately provide support and assistance to Survivors and Families. From newborns to elderly.  Athletes to office workers.  TBI's can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time.  It often happens in the blink of an eye and results in a devastating impact on life for the Survivor and their Family.

 

Education on TBI's cannot stop with medical professionals or the Survivors and Families impacted by a TBI. We must educate our youth, military, first responder's, athletes (youth and professional) as well as parents and coaches on steps to assist with prevention, rehabilitation, and life after a TBI.

 

Lastly, we seek to extend our footprint, and grow our Army, by hosting various events and fundraising campaigns in our communities as well as through our site.  The funds raised through our events and campaigns will help support our cause to raise awareness and provide financial assistance to Survivors and Families in need.

 

If you are here, you are not alone. We understand what you are going through as we have been there ourselves. We hope we are able to assist you with receiving the assistance you seek.
