Project description:

Brain Injury Awareness Month, observed each March, was established 3 decades ago to educate the public about the incidence of brain injury and the needs of persons with brain injuries and their families. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury which can lead to short- or long-term changes affecting thinking, sensation, language, or emotion.

The goal of this project is to spread awareness for just how common TBIs are - both in civilian and military populations.

More details can be found at the Brain Injury Association Website.
