Brain Injury Awareness Month
March has been designated as Brain Injury Awareness Month, a critical time when the First Cost Brain Injury Support Group and its partners strive to build public awareness and education by producing and distributing important education and prevention tools. Only by raising public awareness of the "silent epidemic" of brain injury will we begin to see a decrease in the alarming number of injuries sustained every year, an increase in the number of individuals practicing preventive behaviors while at work or play, and a change in the public's attitude toward individuals with brain injury.
