2010 Chartbook Submissions
Below you will find a link to a
letter from Bonnie Strickland, HRSA/MCHB Division of Children with Special
Health Needs Director, asking for submissions for a chartbook we will be
publishing in 2010. The publication will celebrate our mutual progress
over the last decade in implementing a community-based system of care for
children, youth, and adults with special health care needs. I hope you will
submit a vignette, article, or picture about TBI.
All submissions are due by March 15, 2010.

OHIOCARES
Brain Injury Association of Ohio (BIAOH) is pleased to be a member of OHIOCARES, a group
created by Major General Wayt of the Ohio National Guard to respond to
the needs of returning soldiers and their families.
OHIOCARES is a collaboration of state and local
agencies supporting the behavioral health of returning OIF/OEF
(Operation Iraqi Freedom / Operation Enduring Freedom) veterans
and their families. Although the VA is the primary source of services
for veterans, this partnership provides community based alternatives to
veterans and their families.
OHIOCARES' purpose is to
enhance the “safety net” community of behavioral health services
available for military personnel and their families and to complement
the services available through the Department of Veterans Affairs and
Vet Centers by linkages with county alcohol, drug and mental health
boards and behavioral health care providers, as well as advocacy and
support organizations such as BIAOH.
