Brain Injury Awareness Month
March is Brain Injury Awareness Month. Every 9 seconds, someone in the United States sustains a brain injury. More than 3.5 million children and adults sustain an acquired brain injury (ABI) each year, but the total incidence is unknown.
Brain injury does not discriminate and can happen to anyone.
The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) leads the nation in observing Brain Injury Awareness Month by conducting an awareness campaign in March each year. The theme for the 2018 to 2020 campaign is #ChangeYourMind.
Please join Brain Injury Association of Indiana, Brain Injury Association of America and all of the individuals and families living with acquired brain injury every day to raise awareness and educate on this often silent epidemic.
Please email us at wendy.waldman@@rhin.com and let us know what you and/or your organization will be doing to celebrate Brain injury Awareness Month. We would be happy to share this on our calendar on our website if you would like!
