During Brain Injury Awareness month, we honor the medical professionals who actively treat the acute injury, and the ~5.3M people who live with a permanent disability as a result of that injury. Both approach brain injury with passion, perseverance, dedication, and resilience. When the surgeries are over, the stitches are out, and the wounds close, the hardest work falls on the brain-injured and it doesn't happen alone. What can be considered an invisible disability requires awareness and humility to identify personality, cognitive and behavioral changes. Early self, friend, family identification and intervention results in improved outcomes. See something, say something to offer brain injury support.
