Survivor & System Solutions helps agencies identify where people affected by brain injury may be misunderstood, overwhelmed, excluded, delayed, or lost between systems — then provides practical training, accessibility guidance, structured response tools, survivor engagement, and implementation support to strengthen the response.
S&SS services can be purchased individually or completed as a coordinated agency-improvement process. The pathway is designed to support existing operations, not replace agency policy, command structure, clinical judgment, legal review, or internal approval.
Agency Service Statement: Survivor & System Solutions helps agencies identify where people affected by brain injury may be misunderstood, overwhelmed, excluded, or lost between systems — and provides practical training, accessibility guidance, structured tools, and implementation support to strengthen the response.
These five services give agencies a clear model for brain injury-informed improvement: assessment, training, accessibility, implementation, and lived-experience engagement.
A structured review that helps leadership see where survivors may be misunderstood, overwhelmed, delayed, excluded, or lost within existing procedures.
Practical training that helps personnel recognize how brain injury may affect communication, memory, processing, behavior, emotional regulation, sensory tolerance, and decision-making.
A survivor-informed review of agency materials and communication processes to determine whether they are understandable and usable for people with cognitive or sensory limitations.
Guidance that helps an agency review, adapt, and introduce an S&SS response system within its existing operations through a manageable phased process.
A structured process that helps agencies meaningfully include survivors and caregivers in program development, service improvement, training, policy discussions, and community planning.
S&SS systems are built as practical overlay templates. They help professionals recognize when brain injury may be involved and provide clearer pathways for communication, support, handoff, follow-up, and coordination without adding unnecessary confusion or disconnected work.
A county-level system designed for public safety, EMS, emergency care, advocacy support, supervisors, and leadership to use agency-specific pathways when brain injury may affect response, communication, safety, or follow-up.
A response system for EMS, emergency departments, hospital teams, and leadership to strengthen recognition, sensory safety, warm handoffs, discharge communication, and continuity after emergency care.
A workplace system for supervisors, HR, safety teams, employees, coworkers, and leadership to improve communication, accommodation pathways, overload response, and safe participation at work.
Important: S&SS systems do not replace current agency policy, command direction, medical protocols, legal review, personnel decisions, technology approval, or final local adoption. They support agencies by making brain injury response clearer, more compassionate, and easier to follow.
S&SS also supports the use of TBI Dashboard and the Impact Injury Severity Score as a data-informed visibility layer for brain injury response. These tools can help agencies better understand impact, severity, patterns, service needs, follow-up priorities, and where gaps may continue after the initial response.
Helps organize visibility around brain injury-related needs, response patterns, service connection, and follow-up priorities so leadership can better understand what is happening across systems.
Supports a clearer understanding of injury impact and severity so agencies and partners can discuss needs, risk, and support planning with more consistency.
S&SS connects survivor-centered response with data-informed planning so agencies can strengthen both frontline interaction and leadership decision-making.
Brain Summit 2026 represents a collaboration between survivor-led Survivor & System Solutions and caregiver-led Power Of Patients, bringing together lived experience, caregiver insight, healthcare innovation, survivorship advocacy, data, and compassionate systems collaboration.
Brain Summit 2026 is more than an event. It is a survivor-led and caregiver-led gathering built to bring survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers, universities, innovators, advocacy organizations, and statewide stakeholders into the same room for a stronger conversation about brain injury, data, access, and compassionate systems change.
Registration is open: Brain Summit 2026 will take place July 29, 2026, from 10am-4pm at Northeastern University Charlotte Campus, 920 Concord Street, Charlotte, NC 28202.
The flyers show the information. The in-person experience is where the real connection happens — the conversations, the questions, the survivor and caregiver perspective, the data reveal, and the partnerships that can move brain injury response forward.
Seating, relationship-building, and access to the full day are strongest for those who attend in person.
Hear how lived experience, caregiver insight, data, and professional response can work together to reduce the gaps survivors often face.
A focused day of advocacy, innovation, survivor-centered discussion, mental health connection, research, and data-informed brain injury response.
Brain injury care improves when the people affected, the people responding, and the people making decisions are able to connect directly.
Start here for the who, what, when, where, and why behind Brain Summit 2026.

Open Final AgendaBrain Summit 2026 is designed for survivors, caregivers, healthcare leaders, public agencies, researchers, organizations, companies, and partners who want to be part of improving brain injury response instead of watching the discussion from the outside.
Join Power Of Patients, Survivor & System Solutions, Sandy Pruett Project, and Northeastern University Charlotte Campus for Brain Summit 2026: Where Data Meets Advocacy.
Brain Summit 2026 brings the human side and the systems side of brain injury into one place. It is built around survivors, caregivers, data, advocacy, mental health, healthcare innovation, and the need for clearer pathways across systems.
Survivor & System Solutions works with agencies, counties, healthcare partners, public safety, workplace leaders, advocacy organizations, and community partners seeking clearer brain injury-informed response, communication, implementation, and survivor-centered support.
