Washington State Launches Traumatic Brain Injury Campaign

Campaign Features Toll-Free Statewide Information and Referral Services and Dedicated Website

The TBI Council was created in 2007 by HB 2055, Washington state legislation that brings together public and private sectors with expertise in Traumatic Brain Injury to address the needs of those affected by TBI.

“The number of people who suffer a traumatic brain injury increases every year. The problem affects babies, adolescents, service men and women, and seniors. No one is immune from the threat of TBI,” said Bea Rector, DSHS office chief of Home and Community Programs.

 

The toll free number – 877/TBI-1776 – provides one place where people with TBI can call for information and help. The number will be staffed Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. People also can find resources at any time through the new website, www.tbiwashington.org.
