March is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Awareness Month💚
TBIs are brain injuries caused by external forces, & occur more commonly than you think. Each year, there are 2.9 million emergency department visits related to TBI in the US.
Consciously taking action is important in avoiding TBIs!
Motor vehicle crashes— Buckle up for every ride, whether you are the driver or a passenger. Never get behind the wheel if you are under the influence of alcohol/drugs🚙
Sports-related injuries— Always wear a helmet/appropriate headgear when participating in contact sports or activities where you can lose your balance⛷️🏂
Falls— Make sure that living areas are safe if there are children or older adults in your home. Identify any potential fall risks and eliminate them🛑
