Conference
We co-host an annual brain injury conference.
Helmet Fittings
We will
assist parents in adjusting helmets, and making sure the
correct size helmet is used to provide adequate protection.
Employer/Employee Education
The Brain Injury Association of Wyoming maintains an extensive
library of written and visual materials. If your employees are
required to work with brain injury survivors, we may have just
the training materials you need! Library materials may be
checked out for free with some limitations.
Please check out our library pages
for more information.
Helmet Scholarship Program
Thanks to various donations and grants we are able to offer
bicycle and other types of helmets to children at a low cost,
($5 for bicycle helmets, $10 for all-sport helmets).
Other helmets may also be available at a reduced price. In
addition, there are some helmet scholarships available. Don't
let your child ride without a helmet, just because you can't
afford one!
Reward Deserving Children
Mattel Toys have provided toys for 3-8 year old children as a
reward for wearing their helmets. Do you know a deserving
child who ALWAYS wears their helmet? Give us a
call and ask about the program.
Brainy Bear Program
Brainy Bear Program materials are available for
download at
www.biausa.org, and you may check out a Brainy Bear puppet
to assist you in providing brain injury awareness education to
pre-schoolers. There is no cost for the use of the bears, and
we can help you to organize a presentation tailored to your
specific needs.
