MINDSOURCE launches redesigned website for brain injury support in Colorado

MINDSOURCE Brain Injury Network has launched a redesigned website to help Coloradans affected by brain injury find screening, services, training and grants more easily. The new site, built with Fruition, replaces a harder-to-navigate government experience with clearer paths for survivors, caregivers, professionals and grant seekers.

Why it matters: - The redesigned site is meant to make brain injury help easier to find for Coloradans who may need support in a stressful moment. - MINDSOURCE serves survivors, families, caregivers and professionals across Colorado, so faster access to the right resource can affect screening, support and follow-up care. - The new site also expands accessibility for people navigating cognitive, visual or motor challenges.

What happened: - MINDSOURCE Brain Injury Network launched a newly redesigned website at mindsourcecolorado.org. - Fruition developed the site in partnership with MINDSOURCE. - The redesign replaces a previous website that was harder to navigate and felt more bureaucratic. - MINDSOURCE is Colorado’s designated lead state agency on brain injury under the Colorado Department of Human Services.

The details: - The site is organized around four visitor paths: people who have or may have a brain injury, family members or caregivers, professionals, and people interested in grants. - Visitors who may have a brain injury can find screening tools, support services and community resources. - Caregivers can access guidance and resources to help support a loved one and themselves. - Professionals can find screening tools, training, technical assistance and networking resources. - Grant seekers can find information on community and research grants supported by the Colorado Brain Injury Trust Fund. - The redesign includes straightforward navigation and a clean visual design. - The site highlights the Online Brain Injury Screening and Support System, or OBISSS, a free and confidential screening tool available to anyone in Colorado age 13 and older. - The site works across desktop, tablet and mobile devices. - An accessibility overlay was added to improve usability for a broader audience. - Sallie Wright Serene, vice president of delivery at Fruition, said the new site was built around the reality that people arrive in a hard moment and need help fast.

Between the lines: - The redesign signals a shift from a government-first digital experience to a user-first support hub. - That change matters because people seeking brain injury help often need simple navigation more than institutional detail. - The emphasis on four clear paths suggests MINDSOURCE wanted to reduce friction between visitors and the services they need. - The accessibility focus also points to a broader recognition that brain injury support websites have to work for users with different physical and cognitive needs.

What's next: - Visitors can explore the redesigned website now. - MINDSOURCE will continue directing people to screening, services, training, grants and other resources through the new site. - The organization will keep linking direct support services through its partner, the Brain Injury Association of Colorado.

The bottom line: - MINDSOURCE is using its new website to make Colorado brain injury resources easier to find, easier to use and more accessible for the people who need them most.
