Brain Injury Awareness Month – Share Your Brain Injury Story

Each time a person shares their brain injury story, it not only spreads awareness; it also raises the hopes of other people living with brain injury. A personal story can be the beacon in the dark for someone desperately trying to find another person who understands. Who has lived it. Who gets it.

That is why the Brain Injury Alliance of Iowa wants to share personal stories in March of 2018 – Brain Injury Awareness Month. These stories can be about your own personal recovery, the moment of your injury or even your journey as a caretaker, spouse, or parent. Brain injury touches so many lives, and each life is made of these stories.

If you would like to share a personal story with brain injury, we only ask that it be concise – no more than 500 words. We aren’t looking for whole biographies; just those moments that make you go, “This is it. This is brain injury.” They can be funny, sad, exciting – whatever brain injury means to you. Stories will be shared on social media in March of 2018.

Brain Injury Awareness Month is about saying “See Me. Understand My Brain Injury.” Help others see. Help others understand.
