Traumatic Brain Injury
Those who survive a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can struggle with consequences that last a few days or the rest of their lives. TBI effects can include impairments related to thinking or memory, movement, sensation (e.g., vision or hearing loss), or emotional functioning (e.g., personality changes, depression). These issues affect individuals but also can have lasting effects on families and communities.
