** Description:
Every 21 seconds someone in the United States incurs a brain injury. Over 5 million Americans live with a permanent brain injury-related disability. Navigating daily life with a brain injury isn't just difficult. It can be debilitating. Why does it matter? How can being aware help you be a better friend, teacher, friend, doctor, or co-worker to someone with a brain injury? Join us in a presentation and discussion about brain injury and the challenges of the journey toward understanding.
