March is Brain Injury Awareness Month

Brain Injury Association of MS/United Spinal Association MS Chapter • February 8, 2023


In the U.S., 13.5 million people are living with a TBI-related disability. Mississippi is in the top 5 states per capita in numbers of brain injuries and #4 for strokes.

Someone sustains a TBI every 9 seconds.

If you know someone who is living with brain injury – or if you have one yourself – you know that brain injury is not an event or an outcome. It’s the start of a misunderstood, misdiagnosed, underfunded neurological disease.

Join Us for Brain Injury Awareness Day at the Capital and Help Us Spread Awareness!

The Brain Injury Association of MS/United Spinal Association, MS Chapter will be hosting Brain Injury Awareness Day Mississippi on March 1, 2023 from 9-11am in the Rotunda at the Capitol in Jackson. There will be a press conference at 9:30am. All professionals, survivors, family members and caregivers are encouraged to attend.

Be sure to follow us on social media for updates and special event announcements - we don't want you to miss out!
