March is Brain Injury Awareness Month
For more than three decades, The Brain Injury Association of America leads the nation in observing Brain Injury Awareness Month in March each year.The Brain Injury Association of Indiana joins BIAA is promoting Brain Injury Awareness.
The theme for the new 2024 campaign is “My Brain Injury Journey“.
The #MyBrainInjuryJourney public awareness campaign seeks to:
- Grab the attention of the public by shining light on some of the lesser-known aspects about brain injury—its chronic nature, and that brain injuries look different for each individual survivor.
- Educate the public around the complexities of brain injuries—how each one is unique, that they’re more than simply a one-time event, and that for many, these are invisible disabilities that keep others from fully understanding the entire picture, or the “real story.”
- Open the door to a larger conversation around the CDC or CMS formally recognizing and categorizing brain injury as a chronic health condition like heart disease or diabetes.
