“Brain Injury is…. like a puzzle, all the pieces are there but in the wrong order.”
“The thing about brain injury is it makes you appreciate the simple things in your day (remembering your keys, planning ahead, knowing what to say) and see how they are actually really complex.”
Brain Injuries can be a debilitating condition that affects not only the brain injury survivor, but their loved ones as well. There is an average of 3.2 million individuals affected by Brain Injuries each year and more than 6.2 million individuals who deal with life-long disability and other symptoms daily.
