Community Futures Foundation (CFF), based in Richmond, Virginia, provides long term community based support services to individuals with brain injury in the Metro Richmond and Hampton Roads Area.

For the past eight years, Community Futures Foundation has empowered survivors of brain injury through innovative, “best practice” programs and services. At CFF, individuals with brain injury are offered the opportunity to regain self confidence, refine work skills, and regain independence. The impact of CFF, though, is not limited to the provision of direct services. Since its inception, Community Futures Foundation has fostered the development of advocates, the education of our community, and continued advancement in the long term care and support of survivors of brain injury.

The Matter of Brain Injury

With every new day, the number of individuals living in the United States who have sustained a brain injury grows. Not only does the incidence of brain injury in the United States continue to rise, but medical advancements also exponentially increase the likelihood of surviving the severest of brain injuries. Despite this increase, community education about the causes, symptoms, and long term effects of brain injury is sparse.

Stories of True “Survival”

Through this website, CFF hopes to give voice to the survivors of brain injury we serve. Each individual survivor story is different, but common themes unite the experiences of those who have sustained a brain injury: Because of one incident, one illness, one moment in time, life is irrevocably changed. Rehabilitation is a way of life, not a short term pursuit. And even in tragedy or trauma, there is hope.
