Brain Injury Awareness Month *** March 2009 March 30, 2009

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, providing a wonderful opportunity to promote awareness by educating the public about the causes of brain injury, its impact, and the services needed by New Yorkers with brain injury and their families. Brain Injury Awareness Month is also a good time to promote prevention strategies. By raising awareness of this "silent epidemic", we will greatly enhance public understanding of brain injury.

The mission of the Brain Injury Association of New York State is to promote awareness, understanding, and prevention through education, advocacy, and community support services that lead toward reduced incidence and improved outcomes for children and adults with brain injuries.
