Black Maternal Health Week shines a light on one of the most urgent health equity issues in America: Black women continue to face significantly higher risks during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

But too often, the conversation leaves out Black women living with disabilities, including survivors of brain injury. Many face inaccessible clinics, provider bias, transportation barriers, and a lack of coordinated care for neurological conditions during pregnancy and recovery.

At the Brain Injury Association of Arizona, we know maternal health equity must also include disability equity. Every woman deserves care that is safe, respectful, informed, and accessible.

This week, we invite you to help broaden the conversation around racial justice, disability inclusion, and brain injury awareness.

Volunteers make it possible for organizations like the Brain Injury Association of Arizona to provide support groups, education, resources, and advocacy for brain injury survivors and families.

About 28% of Americans volunteer through organizations, and the estimated value of a volunteer hour in the U.S. is $34.79 — showing just how important volunteer contributions are to our communities.

Volunteers truly make a difference in the lives of brain injury survivors across Arizona!

🎬 Join us in the East Valley this Friday for a fun outing with the Brain Injury Association of Arizona as we head to see Michael! Survivors and caregivers can still register.

This is more than an afternoon at the movies—it’s a chance to get out, connect with others, and enjoy being part of the brain injury community. And who knows? A few neurons may start firing as the music brings back memories of the Jackson Five and Michael Jackson. 🎶

Getting out into the community can offer many benefits —from social connection to joy, stimulation, and shared experiences—when and if it feels right for you.

A special thank you to our Run, Walk, & Roll participants, whose support helps make social events like this possible for our community. đź’™

In Arizona, summer heat isn’t just uncomfortable—it can be deadly. And for people experiencing homelessness with brain injuries, the risks are even greater.

Studies show that more than half of people experiencing homelessness have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). These injuries can make it harder to find housing, stay employed, or even recognize dangerous situations—like extreme heat.

Here in Maricopa County, hundreds of lives are lost each year to heat-related illness. For someone living outside with a brain injury, the ability to seek shade, hydration, or help isn’t always straightforward.

There’s also a strong connection with our veteran community. TBI has been one of the most common injuries in recent military service, and some veterans face homelessness as they transition back to civilian life.

For years, the Brain Injury Association of Arizona has worked alongside communities across the state to support individuals facing both brain injury and housing instability—especially veterans—through resources, education, and advocacy.

A huge thank you to our amazing speakers who helped make The Joy of Neuroplasticity such a meaningful event!

Pnina led a wonderful breathwork session, Andrew brought everyone together through a powerful drum circle, and Dr. Reuter shared fascinating insights into the mechanics of neuroplasticity.

For anyone who missed our in-person event, we’d love to have you join us on November 1 for a meditation session with Julie Rake Integrative Medicine and a drumming circle at Rhythms of Renewal.

Yesterday was a busy day for your Brain Injury Association of Arizona.

We were in Tucson for our in-person support group, in Mesa connecting with more than 500 Mercy Care consumers at the Connections Conference, and in Page for the Veterans Stand Down, where we met with 50 veterans to share information about services and support.

We also hosted our virtual support group for survivors impacted by drunk or distracted driving, and we welcomed the team from Cerebrations for a two-hour virtual workshop on organization and planning after brain injury.

Is Tempe accessible to you?

Accessibility can mean many things, from sidewalks and crosswalks to parks, bus stops, city services and how information is shared.

The City of Tempe is asking for your input to better understand where barriers exist and what should be improved first.
