All over the country, tens of thousands of people will be celebrating Brain Injury Awareness Month in March. Join your local Brain Injury Association in spreading the word.

Brain Injury Awareness Month is a terrific opportunity to promote awareness by educating the public about the causes of brain injury, its impact, the importance of brain injury prevention, and the services needed by people with brain injury and their families. By raising awareness of this “silent epidemic,” we will greatly enhance public understanding of brain injury.

Here are some things you can do to raise awareness:

• Visit your legislators
• Arrange to speak to a school or community group about brain injury
• Plan a library or shopping mall information bulletin board
• Write an article for your local newspaper
• Contact your local television and radio stations
• Plan a conference or informational meeting in your community
• Hold a fundraiser
• Contact 10 friends and colleagues and encourage them to join your local Brain Injury Association.

Whatever your ideas, feel free to contact your local Brain Injury Association office for materials and assistance.
