Welcome to another episode of Mind Matters, where we explore the real-life challenges and triumphs of navigating head injuries and concussions. In today’s conversation, we dive deep into the journey of finding acceptance after a traumatic brain injury, embracing a new identity, and building a strong support network. Whether you’re a survivor, caregiver, or healthcare professional, this episode offers practical insights, emotional resilience strategies, and hope for life after TBI.

In this episode of Mind Matters, we explore powerful stories and expert insights on navigating head injuries and concussions. We hear from a traumatic brain injury survivor whose life was forever changed after a devastating car crash in 2008. Despite facing double vision, neuro fatigue, and cognitive challenges, Angela has become a passionate advocate for brain injury awareness and recovery. Discover her personal journey, proven recovery strategies, and practical advice for anyone facing brain injury challenges.

In honor of Brain Injury Awareness Month, I participated in a Facebook Live event with BIAA’s Brain Injury Advisory Council for conversation on life after brain injury. I hope you enjoy our discussion! #MoreThanMyBrainInjury #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth

I am a member of the Brain Injury Advisory Council for BIAA, and we wrote an article for The Challenge titled "Strategies For Living Well With Brain Injury". As an extension of the article, we created videos and here is the first one.

Kellie Pokrifka, Greg Ayotte and I created this video for the section "Living with Brain Injury Means Learning How To Manage Symptoms". You are also invited to subscribe to our Brain Injury Advisory Council YouTube channel so you can catch our upcoming videos!

Here is another video in conjunction with the article “Strategies for Living Well With Brain Injury”. Kelly Lang and I join Greg Ayotte, BIAA’s director of consumer services, to discuss the section called “Wellness is within your reach”. Please feel free to share this with your family and friends.
