Brain Injury Awareness Month

Upcoming Events

Brain Injury Awareness Month is observed each March to elevate public understanding of brain injury, reduce stigma, and highlight the needs and resilience of survivors. First established in 1984 by the Brain Injury Association of America, the campaign has grown from a week-long observance into a nationwide movement promoting prevention, education, research, and advocacy.

Here in North Carolina, the Brain Injury Association of North Carolina proudly carries this mission forward. Throughout March, we celebrate by spreading awareness across the state through a variety of events, programs, and community initiatives. From educational workshops to survivor-centered gatherings, each event is designed to inform, connect, and inspire.

Explore the calendar below and join us as we raise awareness, build understanding, and support individuals and families affected by brain injury across North Carolina.
