March is Brain Injury Awareness Month! Every year we participate in spreading awareness about traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and promoting ways to improve the quality of life for persons living with TBI. As part of our 2023 efforts, we will be sharing stories, hosting a fundraiser and providing opportunities to win prizes through weekly trivia on our Facebook page.
