Advocacy at the Federal Level
The Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania participates in advocacy activities at the Federal level
BIAPA once again participated in the Brain Injury Association of America’s awareness and advocacy days in Washington, D.C. The event included pre-conference activities focusing on awareness and advocacy.
The Congressional Brain Injury Task Force hosted Brain Injury Awareness Day to celebrate March as Brain Injury Awareness Month. This day was dedicated to educating elected officials about the full range of effects of brain injury, the challenges and recoveries of persons living with brain injury, and the services and supports available to them.
The Congressional Brain Injury Task Force's mission is to further education and awareness of brain injury including its incidence, prevalence, prevention and treatment. If your representative is included on the membership list, contact him or her to offer thanks. If not, contact him or her to suggest that he or she joins the task force.

Legislative Issues
BIAPA follows the legislative process in Washington, DC to maintain awareness of issues that might affect individuals with brain injury and their families. Watch for Action Alerts which we send by email when there is potential legislation that requires advocacy and suggests contacting your representative to let him or her know your position.
