Description

(Please note SABI is strictly for survivors of brain injuries only.) This group is for people who have had an acquired brain injury (abi) from such causes as traumatic brain injury (tbi), stroke, tumor, or illness (encephalitis, meningitis, etc.) “Survivor” designations include abi survivors, brain injury survivors, anoxic brain injury survivors, brain tumor survivors, post-abi survivors, post-tbi survivors, stroke survivors and tbi survivors, etc. Other terms associated with survivors in this group include anoxic or hypoxic brain injury, blast brain injury, brain aneurysm, brain injury related to surgical procedure, brain trauma, catastrophic brain injury, cerebral hemorrhage, chemo brain, coma, concussion, diffuse brain injury, head injury, head trauma, head wound, locked-in syndrome, mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), moderate brain injury, penetrating head wound, persistently unaware state, post-concussion syndrome, post traumatic brain injury syndrome, serious or severe brain injury, and skull fracture. The focus of SABI is on collective advocacy and self-advocacy for people with brain injuries. On SABI we also discuss our abilities and our disabilities, our joys and our frustrations, and we help each other as best we can. Please help us to provide a safer world for the members of our brain injury community. SABI is operated by the Brain Injury Network (BIN), an international and national consumer-driven advocacy non-organization for people with acquired brain injuries. BIN is located in California, USA and has been operated for and by survivors since 1998. BIN is also a peer support and information and referral agency. BIN is calling for a Post TBI Syndrome brain injury classification and for international and national standards in post-secondary programs for abi and tbi adult students. Please see our additional public policy agenda and additional survivor and caregiver forums (ABIRA, FEASIBLE) at our web site at www.braininjurynetwork.org
