BRAVE (Building Resilience through Action in VEterans and first responders)
BRAVE is a Traumatic Brain Injury recovery program specifically designed for military veterans and first responders.
It is an intensive, outpatient program that focuses on diagnosing and treating brain injuries so participants can return to normal life. The BRAVE program is the first of its kind in the Midwest and one of only a few in the United States. It was founded by a generous gift from the Avalon Action Alliance, a post-trauma, wellness non-profit organization that provides care for the “hidden wounds” carried by veterans, first responders and their families.
