Honored to be part of the Covert Consciousness Symposium in Maryland!

It was a privilege to sit on a panel alongside fellow traumatic brain injury survivors, caregivers, and family members to share our journeys, experiences, and perspectives. Together, we discussed the challenges of reintegration after brain injury and explored meaningful ways to help survivors and their families better understand, navigate, and adjust to life after injury.

Reintegration is a journey that affects not only the survivor, but the entire family. Creating space for honest conversations, sharing resources, and learning from one another are important steps toward building a stronger support system for everyone involved.

As a foundation, we believe in the power of connection, education, advocacy, and community. We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of these important conversations and to help bring greater awareness, understanding, and support to survivors and the families walking alongside them.

Together, we can help make the journey forward a little less overwhelming and a lot less lonely.

For individuals living with a traumatic brain injury, recovery goes far beyond the physical. Changes in mood, sleep, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, irritability, substance use, and the many challenges that can come with life after TBI can significantly impact mental health.

At the MCM Brain Injury Foundation, we believe awareness matters. Conversations matter. Checking in matters. And making sure survivors and caregivers know they are not alone matters.

Su***de prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Take the time to ask the hard questions, listen without judgment, recognize warning signs, and help connect someone to support when they need it most.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call, text, or chat 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Help is available 24/7.

No one should have to navigate brain injury, mental health challenges, or suicidal thoughts alone. 💚

Share this post. Start the conversation. Check on your people.

Today marks 4 years since the day that changed my life forever. From moving a million miles per hour, doing everything that I wanted, moving to the beat of my
own drum, that all changed in an instant. My life was a second away from being taken from me. But today, four years later, looking back on what has changed, I am so grateful this auto accident has happened. I have a new lease on life, a new appreciation for everything I have, all the people (friends and family) that are in my life, all the lessons I’ve learned, and the positivity that I still maintain everyday. I couldn’t be more appreciative of everything that I have.

Not to mention having a traumatic brain injury, but starting the MCM Brain Injury Foundation, to spread awareness about TBIs and raising funds to support TBI survivors that are going through the difficult recovery journey that I went through and still and going through.

Cooking is still definitely a little challenging, but I’m so glad I stuck with it!

I made pasta with meat sauce using fresh tomatoes and basil from my balcony garden, and since I’m allergic to dairy, I used cashew Parmesan instead (still very delicious).

It turned out SO good. Honestly, sometimes the meals that take a little more effort end up being the ones you enjoy the most.

I really do love cooking. I love trying new things, figuring it out when something doesn’t go as planned, and then sitting down and enjoying what I made.

This one was a win!

Giving back to the place that helped change my life.

I spent eight months at Special Tree Brain and Spinal Cord Rehabilitation learning how to walk, talk, and become independent again. Their incredible team helped me rebuild not just physically, but as a person — teaching me everyday skills, restoring my confidence, and helping me find my way forward.

That’s why it means so much to give back. Our foundation was honored to donate a wheelchair and occupational therapy equipment to Special Tree so they can continue helping others the way they helped me.

Special Tree changed my life, and I’ll always be grateful. Thank you to everyone who believed in me, pushed me, encouraged me, and helped me become who I am today.

Having a TBI has changed the way I experience concerts. White lights can be overwhelming, bright flashes can leave me struggling, and the sensory overload can hit hard. Lawn seats aren’t always the easiest, and sometimes I have to step away, cover my eyes, or give myself a quiet moment to reset.

But I still love going. I still love the energy, the music, the memories, and that feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people who came for the same reason I did.

It may look a little different now. I may have to make accommodations, listen to my body, and enjoy the show in my own way — but I refuse to let my TBI take away something I love.

Here’s to finding ways to keep doing the things that make us happy, even when we have to do them differently.

Happy Labor Day from the MCM Brain Injury Foundation!

Today, we recognize and thank the hardworking individuals whose dedication, compassion, and service make a difference in the lives of others every single day.

We especially honor the incredible professionals who play such an important role in traumatic brain injury recovery — doctors, nurses, therapists, rehabilitation specialists, social workers, case managers, caregivers, first responders, support staff, and so many others.

TBI recovery is rarely the work of one person. It takes a team of dedicated individuals working together to help survivors rebuild their strength, independence, confidence, and lives.

To everyone who shows up, advocates, encourages, heals, supports, and refuses to give up on those navigating life after a brain injury:

We see you. We honor you. And we thank you. 💚

Happy Labor Day from all of us at the MCM Brain Injury Foundation.

TBI & Su***de Risk: What the Research Shows

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can affect far more than physical health. Research shows a meaningful connection between TBI and increased su***de risk.

Here are some important findings:

• Nearly 2× higher risk: A large JAMA study of more than 7.4 million people found that people who had received medical care for a TBI had about a 90% higher risk of dying by su***de than those without TBI.

• Severe TBI carries greater risk: Severe TBI was associated with approximately 2.4× the su***de risk.

• The first 6 months are especially important: Su***de risk was about 3.7× higher during the first six months after medical contact for TBI. Increased risk was still seen more than 7 years later.

• Repeated TBIs matter: Su***de risk increased from about 1.75× after one TBI-related medical contact to 2.59× after three or more.

• Mild TBI and concussion matter, too: A review of more than 700,000 people found that concussion/mild TBI was associated with approximately a 2× increased risk of su***de, along with increased suicidal thoughts and attempts.

• Veterans show a similar pattern: In 2023, Veterans with a recent TBI diagnosis had a su***de rate of 77.6 per 100,000, compared with 39.9 per 100,000 among those without a recent TBI diagnosis.

One statistic that deserves attention: 10.2% of people who died by su***de in the large Danish study had previously received medical care for a TBI.

Importantly, this does not mean that 10.2% of people with TBI die by su***de. It means that 10.2% of su***de deaths in that population occurred among people with a documented prior TBI.

Why does this matter?

TBI can affect emotional regulation, impulse control, judgment, sleep, cognition and personality. Depression, anxiety, chronic pain, loss of independence, difficulty returning to work, and changes in relationships or identity can add to that vulnerability.

TBI is more than a physical injury. Brain health and mental health are deeply connected—and recognizing that connection can help us better support survivors.
