March is Brain Injury Awareness Month

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month so let's take some time to empower those who have been impacted by a brain injury. Brain injuries can be atraumatic or traumatic which can range from mild concussions to life threatening situations. According to the Brain Injury Association of America, about 5.3 million people in America have suffered from a brain injury. The leading cause of brain injuries is falls which puts young children and elderly at an increased risk for brain injury. One way you can show your support is to wear blue to honor all brain injuries and wear green to honor traumatic brain injuries!
