No two TBI events are the same. Every TBI experience is as unique as the person who is affected, symptoms can change day-to-day, and symptoms can vary from person-to-person.
Whether the TBI is recent or during recovery:
- Resources for healthcare support that puts your needs at the center of the plan
- Get support to healthcare, information, belonging, and hope and healing
- State and community health leaders who prioritize equality in healthcare.
