    Brain Injury Awareness Month

    March is brain injury awareness month. This month provides an important opportunity to bring attention to the prevention of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to promote strategies to improve the quality of life for a person living with TBI and their families. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be mild, moderate, or severe. It is defined as a disruption in the normal functioning of the brain due to a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022). Please see our brain injury awareness month flyer for more information.
