What is PATBI?

Protection and Advocacy for individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury is a federally funded program designed to improve access to health and other services for all individuals with traumatic brain injury and their families.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an insult to the brain, not of a degenerative or congenital nature, caused by an external physical force that may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness, which results in an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning. It can also result in the disturbance of behavioral or emotional functioning.
