Jodi House Brain Injury Support Center

This week for Brain Injury Awareness Month, we want to bring attention to the importance of designating brain injury as a chronic condition. Brain injury is viewed by many in the healthcare system as well as the general public as a one-time event with effects that become stable, rather than the beginning of a process of recurring or persistent effects that continue to change. It is critical that the long-term effects of brain injury be understood so that healthcare systems and research can be aimed toward supporting survivors even after their initial injury.

This week for Brain Injury Awareness Month, we are raising awareness about the prevalence of brain injury, different types of brain injury, and how you can support survivors and their loved ones. A brain injury can happen to anyone at any time, and no two are alike, so it’s important to raise awareness about brain injury and advocate for and support survivors. 

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month! Every March, the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) leads the nation in observing Brain Injury Awareness Month. This year, BIAA is continuing to promote the “My Brain Injury Journey” Campaign, which focuses not only on illustrating how unique each survivor and recovery story is, but also on the long-term effects brain injury can have. 

In the spirit of this year’s campaign, Jodi House members can join us at Jodi House on March 10th at 1 PM for our “Writing Your Story” Workshop to learn how sharing your brain injury journey can inspire hope, raise awareness, and highlight the needs of survivors. 

Thank you for joining us in raising awareness about brain injury!
