Minnesota Advocacy Project
Want to get involved and learn more about improving brain injury services but not sure how to go about it?
Becoming a successful advocate is an important way to improve services for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), their family members, and significant others. The Brain Injury Association of Minnesota is partnering with the Mayo Clinic TBI Model System in a research study to identify how to best teach advocacy to people touched by TBI to improve their health and that of their communities. This groundbreaking study is expected to advance the science of TBI research.
If you are at least 18 years old and a person or family member/significant other affected by a moderate to severe TBI a year or more ago, you are invited to contact us about participating in this research study. You will be asked to attend four monthly training sessions in Minneapolis. Travel expenses will be covered for those residing at least 60 miles from the training site. All participants will receive a research stipend upon completion of the four sessions.
Please contact the Brain Injury Association of Minnesota at 1-800-669-6442 for additional information and/or an application. Contribute to important TBI research and join with others eager to gain better advocacy skills and know-how.
We invite you to put your passion and dedication into action and become a change-agent and community leader. Click here to download an application for the Midwest Advocacy Project.
