💡 New Brainwaves Post Alert! 💡

Meet Dr. Ruchir P. Patel — founder and medical director of the TMS Institute of Arizona in Scottsdale. In his conversation with BIAAZ, he highlights how restoring healthy brain activity via TMS may play an important role in mental health, sleep disorders, and potentially in brain injury recovery.

“When someone’s mental health suffers, their sleep does too, and vice versa. To truly help people heal, you have to treat both.”

If you’re looking for inspired, innovative approaches to brain health and want to learn how we're integrating research, practice and advocacy, this one’s for you.

Wednesday, October 29- World Stroke Awareness Day
12:00 Noon - 1:00PM

Registration https://biaaz.org/event/finding-your-voice-again-life-after-stroke/

Join us this World Stroke Awareness Day for a robust virtual discussion hosted by your Brain Injury Association of Arizona, featuring Felicia Davis, stroke survivor and advocate.

Hear Felicia’s inspiring story of resilience, rediscovery, and learn how finding your voice—literally and emotionally—can be part of healing and hope after stroke. After a stroke, recovery isn’t just about movement—it’s about expression, connection, and rediscovering your voice.

Let’s come together to listen, learn, and celebrate the voices that rise again after stroke, accident, illness, or injury. Together, we’ll explore what it means to rebuild communication, confidence, and community.

📣 A story of survival — and the long road ahead

Earlier this year, a young girl was critically injured when a shooter opened fire during a mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, receiving a gunshot wound to the head and undergoing major brain surgery.

She has now been released from the hospital — a moment of tremendous courage and hope — but her journey has only just begun. Head injuries from violent trauma, especially gunshot wounds, create lifelong needs: extensive rehabilitation, neuropsychological care, ongoing therapy, adaptive support systems, and family education.

At the Brain Injury Association of Arizona, we believe surviving the initial injury is only the first step. Too often families are left wondering where to turn for what comes next.

➡️ We advocate for sustained funding and community infrastructure so that survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) — from violence, accidents, or medical emergencies — can access lifelong support: cognitive rehabilitation, vocational re-entry, peer groups, caregiver education, and reintegration resources.

📲 Join us in raising awareness and hope for long-term recovery. Every brain injury deserves more than emergency care — it deserves a lifetime of support.

💡 Does TMS Therapy Provide Hope for those Healing from Brain Injuries?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a gentle, noninvasive therapy used to treat depression, may also help the brain recover after an injury by stimulating key areas involved in movement, memory, and mood.

In our latest blog, Dr. Ruchir P. Patel from the TMS Institute of Arizona shares how TMS could complement physical therapy and help “reignite neural pathways” to support healing.
