Brain Injury Awareness Month is observed every March to recognize and support people affected by brain injuries. Here are some ways to get involved:

The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) encourages people affected by brain injury to share their stories.
-

-
-
Talk to your childrenParents can teach their children about head safety and encourage them to speak up if they experience a head injury.
-
Make your home saferYou can make your home safer for seniors by removing hazards like throw rugs, lighting up living spaces, and installing assistive devices.
-
AdvocateThe BIAA has advocacy materials, including letter templates and issue briefs, to help you advocate for brain injury causes.
Brain injuries are often called a silent epidemic because many problems aren’t always obvious. Young people, children under 5, and adults over 75 are most likely to sustain brain injuries.
