Many people with disabilities have their lives defined for them. The #MoreThanMyBrainInjury campaign gives individuals a chance to overcome those definitions, allowing them to tell their own stories and change the narrative of their lives.

This Brain Injury Awareness Month, join the #MoreThanMyBrainInjury campaign in a way that feels uniquely you.

  • Engage creatively. Whether you want to share your story in writing, post to social media, explore your artistic side, or amplify the voices of others, there are many different paths to raising awareness of brain injury. Click here to access the creative toolkit.

  • Get another perspective. Read about the personal experiences of members of the brain injury community in our vignettes. Click here to view and download campaign collateral.

  • Know the facts. At least 3.6 million people in the U.S. sustain brain injury each year. Want to learn more? Download our general fact sheet or review our 2022 Legislative Issue Briefs.

  • Speak out. Advocates with a personal investment in the cause make the greatest champions. Why not write a letter to the editor or try to get a PSA aired on your local radio station? Click here for ways to engage the media.

  • Mobilize. Join lawmakers, activists, survivors, caretakers, and professionals in a virtual summit on Capitol Hill on March 16. BIAA, along with the National Association of State Head Injury Administrators and Congressional Brain Injury Task Force co-chairs Reps. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-N.J.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.), will host a briefing on the importance and value of advocacy. Attendance is free, but pre-registration is required.

  • Do more. Ready to take the next step? Join the many BIAA supporters who are raising funds for brain injury services, support, and research all across the United States. Click here to start your fundraiser.
