March is Brain Injury Awareness Month

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force.
Did you know?? TBIs have become the signature wound of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with approximately 20 percent of veterans having reported experiencing a TBI. It is also prevalent in the civilian population. Each year, at least 2.5 million children and adults suffer from a TBI in the United States. Of those, 50,000 die and 280,000 require hospital admission, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Here at New Jersey Brain Care, we specialize in neuropsychological evaluations and treatment for those suffering with a traumatic brain injury, post-concussion syndrome, brain trauma, and so much more!

Did you know burnout can be considered a brain health issue?

Burnout is more likely to occur when employees:
* Experience too much of themselves
* Never feel that the work they are doing is good enough
* Feel inadequate or incompetent
* Feel unappreciated for their work efforts
* Have unreasonable demands placed upon them
* Are in roles that are not a good fit

Because it can be chronic in nature, affecting both the health and performance of employees, prevention strategies are considered the most effective approach for addressing workplace burnout.

We can help.
