Heads Up

Heads Up Brain Injury Support provides personal – hands on – support & services to individuals who have sustained a brain injury, their families and caregivers.   Of the 1.7 million who sustain a TBI each year in the US, 80% of those will be treated and released from a hospital emergency room – with no idea what to do, where to turn to find help.  Heads Up was formed to help meet those needs. Based in Paola, Kansas in Miami County we hold monthly meetings with people coming from Linn, Miami, Johnson & Douglas counties in Kansas, and Cass County in Missouri.

We are a community support organization committed to providing information and encouragement to not only those who attend our meetings, but to those in our community and surrounding areas that struggle in the recovery from brain injury, with the complex and often overwhelming search for resources and the proper help.

Our members are stroke survivors, victims of domestic violence, of vehicle accidents, etc.  Acquired or traumatic – brain injuries are devastating and life changing.  But together we can learn to do more than just survive our injuries.  With the proper resources, with the right help and guidance we can often learn to do more than just survive, we can thrive.

At Heads Up we understand the life challenges and frustrations you face.

There is help for you here.  There is Hope!
