Brain Injury Awareness Month
MarchMarch is Brain Injury Awareness Month. Throughout this month, BIAMI has various activities, events, initiatives, and special programming across the state. BIAMI is actively working to help de-stigmatize brain injury, empower those who have survived, and promote the breadth and depth of support and rehabilitative care that is available in Michigan.
The #MyBrainInjuryJourney campaign aims to illuminate the enduring nature of brain injuries, depicting them not only as isolated incidents but as ongoing experiences. It seeks to bridge the gap in understanding brain injuries by emphasizing the persistent emotional, behavioral, physical and cognitive impacts that often accompany such injuries. Brain injuries can evolve over time, leading to changes that may bring about positive improvements or present additional challenges.
The brain injury journey represents the resilience of those who have navigated a journey like this one, with no clear end point. The journey is different for every survivor, and every individual affected by brain injury has a story to tell, which is why we are asking survivors to share their brain injury story.
If you would like to share your story, email janheuser@biami.org for the opportuntity to be featured in future posts.
