Brain Injury Awareness Month



March is National Brain Injury Awareness Month. An estimated 10 million Americans are affected by stroke and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), making brain injury the second most prevalent injury and disability in the United States. Symptoms of TBI can be different with each person; often, symptoms are not immediately present or noticeable and can be physical, behavioral, or psycho-social, depending on the TBI.

Falls and assaults are two of the leading causes of TBIs. Injuries to the face, head, and neck are among the most common areas of damage for domestic/intimate partner violence survivors. Many are unaware they have suffered a TBI until weeks, months or years later.

Women's History Month

This year's International Women's Day campaign theme is #InspireInclusion. Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together, we can forge women's equality. Collectively, we can all #InspireInclusion. 

International Women's Day (IWD) is recognized on March 8th each year.

Social Work Appreciation Month

As we commemorate National Social Work Appreciation Month, we must recognize the invaluable contributions of these professionals who dedicate their lives to helping others. Social workers are the backbone of our society's support system, embodying empathy, resilience, and expertise. Although not all domestic violence advocates are social workers, the intersection of social work and domestic violence advocacy is profound and impactful.

As we celebrate Social Work Month, let's amplify social workers' voices and advocate for the resources and recognition they and all advocates deserve.
