Campaign Themes for Brain Injury Awareness
Keep Calm and Brain On:
Getting a diagnosis can be scary and a relief at the same time but it is important to remember you are not alone. Resources, support groups, and organizations are available to help you whether you are a client or caregiver.
This campaign will highlight survivors that empower their fears and overcome obstacles to focus on the positive aspects of their lives.
My Injury Not Me:
An injury doesn’t define who a person is: My brain injury doesn’t define me.
This campaign will show that each brain injury survivor is unique by highlighting how they overcame obstacles to achieve their goals and dreams.
