The "More Than My Brain" Injury campaign was designed by our National Organization, Brain Injury Association of America(BIAA). This is a survivor-focused campaign that aims to de-stigmatize the injury, highlight the diversity of the brain injury community, and empower those who have survived. The campaign was designed by support group leaders, advocates, and people living with brain injury. It allows survivors to tell their own stories. It also draws attention to the different causes of brain injury that many do not understand: concussion, stroke, overdose, and abuse.
Governor Henry McMaster has proclaimed March as Brain Injury Awareness month in SC. See the proclamation here. Below is a list of many activities you can participate in this month. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for our special social media messages. Please share!
