Brain Injury Awareness Month

March is brain injury awareness month and each year, the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) chooses a brain injury related topic to educate the public about this devastating injury.

This year’s campaign focuses on concussion and sports injury. For more information on this topic, complete our Resource Request Form, or call the Brain Injury Association of Virginia at 804-355-5748 or toll free 1-800-444-6443.
