Every action creates a ripple. Every ripple can change a life.

Across New York State, brain injury survivors are facing real threats to the services that keep them independent, engaged, and connected. In this shifting landscape, advocacy is essential — and so is your support.

BIANYS is working every day to protect what matters:

  • Meeting with legislators to ensure survivor voices are heard

  • Strengthening partnerships that amplify our mission

  • Providing reliable information and weekly updates

  • Guiding individuals and families through complex systems

  • Safeguarding essential services across the state

These efforts create ripples that reach far beyond one moment or one person.

The Ripple in Action

When Ann, an artist from Long Island, feared losing the care that supported her independence, BIANYS helped her navigate the system, protect her services, and regain confidence. Her story is one of many — each one a reminder of why this work matters.

Ripples Become Waves

Through our Helpline, Support Groups, FACTS Program, Chapters, and Family Fund, BIANYS offers connection, clarity, and hope. These small moments of support build into waves of lasting change.
