March is Brain Injury Awareness Month. It is a time to reflect, educate and advocate this month for individuals with a brain injury whether that be in person or online. It is a dedicated period to recognise and raise awareness about the spectrum of brain injuries, from mild concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries.
The month looks at the prevention of injuries, the challenges survivors face and explores the latest treatment and research.
How to get involved this month
There are many ways to get involved in the month, such as:
- Wearing green: This symbolizes brain injury awareness, wearing green clothing or accessories throughout the month.
- Share personal stories: If you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury, sharing your story in person or on social media can inspire and educate others.
- Workshops: Attending seminars, workshops, or webinars that focus on brain injury prevention, recovery and support.
- Supporting survivors: You can get involved with brain injury support groups, offering your time and resources.
- Donating: Contribute to organisations and research institutions working on brain injury research, treatment, and patient support.
