About Us


This statewide project provides resource coordination services as a short-term intervention for TBI survivors & their families. It is offered by Washington Adult Day Services Association (WADSA).

Survivors of a traumatic brain injury within the past five years - or their family members, caregivers, or friends on their behalf - are invited to call the Washington TBI Helpline to discuss a referral to this project to provide support services for the survivor and his or her family. Please call: 1-877-824-1766.
