Program: Veterans

Budget:: $132,000
Category:: Diseases, Disorders & Medical Disciplines
Population Served:: Military/Veterans

Program Description:

Brain Injury Association of Michigan created a Veteran's Program to specifically help our combatants returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with the complex traumatic brain injury issues. Called the “invisible wound” because a very serious injury can be sustained without visible indicators, TBI has been named the “Signature Wound” of the War on Terror.  <p>Brain injury awareness presentations are made to returning soldiers and their families at post deployment health assessment workshops.  We believe the most important part of our message is that these wounds are “Invisible” and “Treatable”. <strong><em>No brain injury is too small to ignore or too severe to lose hope.</em></strong></p>

Program Long-Term Success:

<div>Improved diagnosis and treatment for returning military members. <br /></div><div>Improved coordination between VA Centers and private brain injury providers.</div><div>Successful reintegration of veterans with their families and in their communities. <br /></div>

Program Short-Term Success:

<div>Better communication between returning military members and their families through new telephonic support groups.</div><div>Increased awareness of brain injury in the military. <br /></div><div>Better relationship between existing VA structure and brain injury community resources <br /></div>

Program Success Monitored by:

<div> The increase of awareness of brain injury and BIAMI services may be measured by the increase of expert testimony requests by Congressional, federal and state contacts.  BIAMI encourages the use of Great Nonprofits reviews.  Through case notes and comments from OEF/OIF veterans and family members.<br /></div>

Program Success Examples:

<div> Historically military personnel find it difficult to share with others their experiences, BIAMI has created a safe atmosphere for them to do so through social events and a reserved telephonic support group.</div><div> BIAMI successfully brought the invisible wounds issues to include Department of Natural Resources (recreation); Faith Based Task Force (faith and hope); Police and Veteran Intervention Program and Veterans Courts (criminal justice system); and the VISN/VA (healthcare).<br /></div><div> </div><div> </div>
