Massachusetts Statewide Head Injury Program

The Statewide Head Injury Program (SHIP) is part of the Community Services Program of the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission. SHIP is the public program in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that identifies, cultivates and develops resources and services for Massachusetts residents who have sustained an externally caused traumatic brain injury. This has been accomplished since 1985, through training, program development, and program and service coordination activities.

SHIP has been successful in creating a network of community-based services and supports that assists individuals in maintaining or increasing their level of independence at home, work and in their communities. SHIP recognizes the significant role that families have in supporting the person who has sustained the brain injury, and their needs have been included in our program development efforts.

SHIP is a completely state funded program whose budget is determined annually by the state legislature. SHIP has experienced professionals working with individuals with head injuries and their families to access programs and obtain services necessary for rehabilitation and community life.

Every 21 seconds, one person in the US sustains a Traumatic Brain Injury.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) costs the country more than $48 billion a year, and between 2.5 and 6.5 million Americans alive today have had a TBI. Survivors of TBI are often left with significant cognitive, behavioral, and communicative disabilities, and some patients develop long-term medical complications, such as epilepsy.
