BIA-MA Southeast
The Brain Injury Association's Southeastern office serves residents living in Southeastern Massachusetts. This office provides
information, resources, support groups, and informal counseling to individuals with brain injuries, families, and professionals from the
south coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands. Zelinda Pereira, administrative assistant, is fluent in Portuguese.
"There are many people in this region with brain injury who aren't aware of the services available to them and
where to find them. Since opening the office a few months ago, we've had a growing number of callers, and have
identified numerous medical, legal, educational, and social service resources in the area."
- Sandy Topalian,
Southeastern Regional Manager
BIA-MA Southeast has more than half a dozen support groups that provide support and social/recreational
activities for individuals with brain injury and their families.
In addition, the association has a new site located on the Cape for its Brains at Risk
program, a court referral program for adults who have been charged with driving under the influence, operating
to endanger, or other driving violation/actions that put themselves and others at risk. For more information
on the Brains at Risk program, contact Emily Ring at (508) 475-0032 or email her at ering@biama.org.
