Brain Injury Awareness Month

March is national brain injury awareness month! Starting this week, and continuing throughout 2010, the Brain Injury Association of America is launching a nationwide education and advocacy campaign: “A concussion is a brain injury. Get the facts.”
Sports-related concussion is a big topic in the news these days, and rightfully so. When a person – especially a child or adolescent – is recovering from a concussion, the brain is at particular risk for further injury.
To keep healthy and safe, learn to recognize the symptoms of concussion, and take plenty of time to recover. Find more materials and information at: www.biausa.org/biam.htm
