What is an Acquired Brain Injury?
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) occurs after birth, often due to an accident, stroke, illness or misuse of alcohol and other drugs. It can change the way a person thinks, feels, moves, or connect with others. No two experiences are the same. Often called an Invisible Injury, its effects aren’t always seen but can be deeply felt.
At arbias, we are dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of ABI while providing compassionate support.

“Be with your people.”

We work to prevent acquired brain injuries through education and provide the right support for individuals living with it. Whether it’s through immediate interventions, ongoing care, or helping people regain their independence, we’re dedicated to walking alongside our people every step of the way.
