About

Since 1983, the San Diego Brain Injury Foundation in Point Loma has held one of twelve California Department of Rehabilitation TBI Program Site designations, serving survivors from its Liberty Station headquarters on Historic Decatur Road. The 501(c)(3) delivers individualized care coordination, a telephone helpline, vocational support, peer mentoring, and peer-to-peer support groups — a wraparound navigation model that intersects with the clinical continuum at Mental Health Systems Inc when survivors present co-occurring behavioral-health needs. Its bilingual Brain Injury Guide, distributed free in English and Spanish, reaches a newsletter circulation of more than 3,900 survivors, caregivers, and rehabilitation clinicians across San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial counties. The foundation also funds $500 educational scholarships for brain-injury survivors pursuing continuing education and hosts the annual surviveHEADSTRONG Walk & Health Fair, connecting attendees with exhibitors in neurology, physical therapy, and assistive technology. Rehabilitation referrals frequently overlap with the neurological-recovery services offered by practitioners like Potentia Therapy, reflecting the foundation's role as a connective hub between acute care and long-term community reintegration in Point Loma San Diego. The most resource-intensive program is Howard House — a six-bed, round-the-clock residential-care facility in Escondido for survivors whose traumatic brain injuries require permanent supported-living arrangements beyond what outpatient programming can provide.
