Orlando Brain
Injury Support

(O-BIS)
Est. 1988

It is important to help build "Brain Injury Awareness" for the 210,000 people that live with a brain injury who call Florida home. This includes children and the 62% of returning wounded veterans with brain injury who face a lifetime living in the Brain Injury world. The Orlando Brain Injury Support Group (OBIS) offers Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors (TBIS) the opportunity to share information and to support one another in an environment of empathy and understanding.

The Main Purpose of the OBIS is to provide a safe environment where TBIS share their individual needs and compensation strategies. It is often from others in like situations that the best solutions to problems can be found. OBIS meetings are where difficulties and emotions can be discussed freely without judgment and new friendships can be forged. Our duty is to fulfill the needs of the Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors. Orlando Brain Injury Support Group is Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor driven. “We are self supported through our own contributions.”

OBIS is the brain injury awareness outlet since 1988 for TBIS, family, and advocates by having community speakers and sharing resources. Together we can each build a strong link in the chain of brain injury recovery through friendship and support.

People Helping People
Julie Thompson and Patti Lock frosting the cupcakes for the meeting. Patti is the one who likes to sing for us. Julie is the one in the wheelchair. People helping people. That's what we're all about, and while we are so very proud of the above proclamations heralding Brain Injury awareness, our chief source of acclaim is the growth and interpersonal caring which happens every time our members meet. They are worthy of many accolades as they work in a mutually supportive effort to make their own and each other's lives richer as they build Brain Injury Awareness through knowledge and partnership. Can the rest of our community do less?
