Brain Injury Awareness Month

0 619

From RCPA member Beechwood NeuroRehab:

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, share knowledge, and support those affected by brain injuries. In recognition of this important month, we invite you to join the Beechwood clinical team for a special Zoom presentation, “Bridging the Gap to Independence.”

Wednesday, March 25, 2026

4:00 pm – 5:30 pm

Brain injuries affect millions of individuals and families each year. These injuries can be caused by falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports impacts, medical conditions, or other traumatic events. While some effects are visible, many survivors live with invisible challenges such as cognitive changes, fatigue, memory issues, and emotional impacts. In this presentation, the clinical team will share how Beechwood can help participants navigate around many of the challenges associated with having sustained an acquired brain injury, discuss their specialties, and talk about how they help participants become as independent as possible.

In observance of Brain Injury Awareness Month, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) will be hosting a virtual Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Partners Day on February 28, 2023, from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm. Registration for the free event is now open.

Each year, under what was previously called TBI Stakeholder Day, ACL convenes interested parties to discuss important issues around TBI services, supports, and systems and to learn from other partners, brain injury survivors, family members, support networks, and state and federal representatives.

This year, there will be sessions on aging, employment, the intersectionality of TBI and other medical and social issues, and peer support.

ACL is still working on finalizing the agenda for the 2023 ACL TBI Partners Day; however, they plan to include state and federal representatives as well as brain injury survivors and family members in the sessions. Session participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions during each session.

The webinar will include ASL interpretation, live English captions, and live Spanish interpretation. If you require additional accommodations to participate or if you have any questions about the event, please contact them via email.
