March is Brain Injury Awareness Month.

More than 5.3 million children and adults in the United States are living with a permanent brain injury-related disability.

If you know someone who is living with brain injury – or if you have one yourself – you know that brain injury is not an event or an outcome. It’s the start of a misunderstood, misdiagnosed, underfunded neurological disease.

This month is about...

1) Increasing understanding of brain injury as a chronic condition

2) Reducing the stigma associated with having a brain injury

3) Showcasing the diversity of injury and the demographics of the community

4) Improving care and support for individuals with brain injury and their families
