No two brain injuries are exactly alike.

Even when two people experience similar injuries, their symptoms, recovery, and challenges can be very different.

Every 3 minutes, a Canadian sustains a brain injury.

Brain injuries donโ€™t always leave visible scars โ€” but their impact can change lives forever.

This Brain Injury Awareness Month, weโ€™re highlighting the realities of traumatic brain injury (TBI), the challenges faced by those living with TBI, and the importance of support, education, and awareness. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’™

Every 3 minutes, a Canadian sustains a brain injury.
