Brain Injury Awareness Month
Each year in March, advocates from around the nation strive to bring awareness to the public about brain injury, it's effects, need for services, and a call for compassion and understanding to individuals living with brain injury and their families. The Brain Injury Association of North Carolina wants you to feel empowered and a part of your community whether you are living with a brain injury or not. We are all important parts to creating the change from a system of help to one of hope.
