Some causes may include anoxic/hypoxic injury (e.g. cardiopulmonary arrest, carbon monoxide poisoning, hemorrhage, airway obstruction ), intracranial surgery (tumor, epilepsy), vascular disruption (stroke), infectious disease, seizure disorders, toxic exposures, encephalitis, etc. Injury to the brain that is NOT hereditary, congenital or degenerative.

Our goal is to work towards a world where all avoidable brain injuries are prevented, all non-preventable brain injuries are minimized, and all individuals who have experienced brain injury can maximize their quality of life. Case managers at the MN Brian Injury Alliance are contracted by various counties in Minnesota to monitor and implement a system of support for individuals. Working closely with each participant, the case managers use waiver funds to coordinate a tailored service plan, identify and connect with service providers, and regularly review the support plan in place to ensure that each individual receives the highest possible level of customized service. Waiver funds can be used to pay for services and supports such as independent living skills, homemaking, personal care services, supported employment, transportation, behavioral services, or day program fees Each person's needs and vision of a better quality of life is unique, so, accordingly, each plan of support organized by Case Management is different. The case management program also provides relocation service coordination (RSC) within contracted counties.
