March is Brain Injury Awareness Month


Brain Injury Awareness Month is dedicated to recognizing and raising awareness about the spectrum of brain injuries, from mild concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). This month focuses on preventing such injuries, the challenges survivors face, and the latest advances in research and treatment.  

Five Fast Facts: 
Concussions happen more often than you think.
Concussion symptoms are not always obvious. 
Alcohol and caffeine can impact concussion recovery.
Screen time impacts concussion recovery.
Driving skills can be impacted by a concussion or TBI.

You can access more information about each fact here.

Ways to Get Involved
If you are passionate about this cause or have a personal connection to it, here's how you can make an impact:
  • Wear Green: Symbolizing brain injury awareness, wear green accessories or clothing, especially on designated awareness days. 
  • Attend Workshops: Participate in seminars, workshops, or webinars focusing on brain injury prevention, recovery, or support. 
  • Share Personal Stories: If you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury, sharing your story can inspire and educate others.
  • Support Survivors: Engage with brain injury support groups, offering your time, resources, or a listening ear. 
  • Donate: Contribute to organizations or research institutions working on brain injury research, treatment, and patient support. 
The Brain Injury Association of America has a My Brain Injury Campaign where you can find additional information on how to get involved, raise awareness, become an advocate, campaign resources, and a calendar of events. 


The Brain Injury Association of North Carolina also has many resources for brain injury survivors, caregivers, professionals, and veterans/military members.  They also offer education and training and many resources including a brain injury care binder, various toolkits and guides, and many downloadable handouts and activities in their online learning center.  

Another resource in our community is the Family Support Network of Greater Forsyth (FSN). They provide parent training and support groups, sibling support, bilingual support, and specialized family groups.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month

Image
This month, we want to take time to remember those who have lost their lives to suicide, those who have struggled with suicidal ideation, and acknowledge all of those who have been impacted.  Why is this work important? According to the CDC, in 2021, there were 48,183 deaths by suicide in the United States, which is equivalent to 1 death every 11 minutes. 1.7 million adults attempted suicide. In 2021, the suicide rate among males was approximately four times higher than the rate among females. Males make up 50% of the population but nearly 80% of suicides. In North Carolina, suicide is the second leading cause of death in ages 10-18. There was a 94% increase in youth suicide from 2011-2020.  Suicide can be prevented by recognizing signs, learning how to help, and taking steps to help those in need. Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Student Services Department has a district protocol to respond to and manage suicide risk.   Firearms are the most common method used,...

Tis the season...

For all the feelings. The holiday season is not always a joyful time for everyone. Some are experiencing loss, grief, change, pain, and a variety of other feelings/emotions.  The Mental Health Association of Forsyth County shared this resource a few years ago. As we move into the holiday break, I wanted to reshare for those needing reminders.  Additionally, another great resource in our county for those who have experienced loss is Trellis Supportive Care. They offer grief counseling for individuals as well as groups and workshops.  A book recommendation that may also be helpful is "It's OK That You're Not OK" by Megan Devine. The book is described as "for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves - and each other - better."      Resources:  Mental Health Association of Forsyth County Trellis Supportive Care
