March is...

March is National Brain Injury Awareness Month—a time to shed light on the often unseen consequences of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Did you know that domestic violence is a leading cause of TBIs, with effects that can remain hidden for years?


From chronic headaches and memory loss to emotional challenges and cognitive impairments, the impact of brain injuries goes far beyond the physical. Strangulation, in particular, poses a silent yet serious threat to survivors, often leaving no visible marks but causing long-term neurological damage.


At NYSCADV, we are dedicated to raising awareness about this critical issue and empowering survivors to reclaim their narratives.
