The Face of Brain Injury - Brain Injury Awareness Month March 2009  
March is Brain Injury Awareness Month.

Traumatic Brain Injury:  It's not just an injury - it's people.  People whose lives have been changed forever by a blow to the head or a neurological event.  There are many faces of brain  injury - survivors, spouses, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, significant others, friends, neurologists, nurses, service coordinators, occupational therapists, legislators, advocates, brain injury association members, certified homecare aides and many others from a host of disciplines and backgrounds - a community of people working together for a common cause.

To acknowledge Brain Injury Awareness Month for 2009 our theme is The Face of Brain Injury.

This year we offer twelve brain injury awareness month posters illustrating our theme.

Each poster is a representative of the many faces of brain injury - TBI survivors, family members, and the people who work with, support and advocate for them - a community of people who care.

You are invited to download any or all of this years FREE posters and fact sheets and print them out for your own use, your organization's use or copy and distribute freely.  They will remain posted for all of 2009.
