February 13: Brain Injury Awareness Day: Why, How, When and Where
This session will cover why we need to reauthorize the TBI Act and the logistics of how we get it done. We will review the schedule of activities in Washington DC for in-person visits to members of the US Congress and Senate, and information on things like what to wear and where to eat. We’ll cover information on how anyone can participate, including those not coming to Washington DC.
February 20: Brain Injury Awareness Month: Telling Our Story
This session will focus on explaining what’s in the TBI Act and how it helps the brain injury community. It will clarify how your advocacy, no matter where you are, can make the TBI Act better. We will provide tips on how to effectively tell your story, in person or in writing, to elected and appointed officials who determine federal policy on brain injury. We will also be sharing our new awareness campaign theme that focuses on telling the story of the lifelong impacts of brain injury.
