What is aphasia?

Aphasia is a disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language. The disorder impairs the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing.

It’s Aphasia Awareness Month. More than 2 million Americans have aphasia resulting from a brain injury or progressive neurological disorder.

Join us in raising awareness this month by following and sharing our educational posts.

June is National Headache and Migraine Awareness Month.

30% of post-TBI headaches are migraines and are often
underdiagnosed. Knowing the symptoms of migraines is the first step!

Caregivers enhance the quality of survivors' lives immensely. But too much stress can harm mental health – which is why we aim to support caregivers as much as we support the survivors in their care.

Caregivers are more likely to experience symptoms of depression or anxiety. If you’re experiencing signs of caregiving stress, reach out to your case manager.
