Communicating About Brain Injury

NASHIA is proud to have been part of the collaboration that brought about this new, important resource for communicating about brain injury. This joint message from national leaders in the brain injury community offers guidance on how to be clear when talking about brain injury.

"It’s important that we communicate clearly and consistently about brain injury. The words we use matter. They can affect whether someone qualifies for services, how professionals plan treatment, and how people understand brain injuries. And, more important, it affects how persons with brain injury experience their injury. The words we choose also shape public attitudes and expectations about life after a brain injury."

Thank you to everyone involved for working to increase care and support for brain injury survivors!
