🧠Brain Injury Awareness Month🧠

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about brain injuries and how they affect individuals, families, and communities.

🧠 Did you know? Brain injuries don’t always look the same and symptoms may not be immediately visible.

Common signs can include:
• Headaches or dizziness
• Confusion or memory changes
• Sensitivity to light or noise
• Changes in mood, sleep, or behavior

Prevention tips:
🚶‍♀️ Reduce fall risks by keeping walkways clear and well-lit
⛑️ Wear helmets during sports and recreational activities
🚗 Always use seat belts and car seats properly

Awareness, prevention, and early support can make a meaningful difference. Let’s work together to promote brain health and safety for all.
