In addition, Wednesday, March 18 is “Brain Injury Awareness Day.” There are many different ways to get involved – you can share one of six promotional posters created by the BIAA, listen to several public service announcements and even get involved with the TBI Portrait Project.
Finally, don’t forget to share your support for TBI awareness on social media through the #NotAloneinBrainInjury hashtag. Just click on the Twitter icon below or spread the word on your Facebook page.
Our co-founder, Jamie Heywood, said it best when discussing PatientsLikeMe’s recent partnership with One Mind, a non-profit organization dedicated to benefiting all affected by brain illness and injury:
If you’ve been recently diagnosed with a TBI, join the more than 1,500 PatientsLikeMe members living with different traumatic brain injuries. The community is ready to answer any and every question you might have.

I am Sharon Stone and I am a Brain Injury Survivor. I am a actress and a mother. It is hard getting up sometimes with a Brain Injury. I have a Brain Injury support group that meets at my home once per month. You are required to bring one food item. We talk about life and our injury. We dance, sing and tell jokes. We support everybody in the group with our problems. If you are interested there is a waiting list for the group and you must have a written authorization from your Brain Injury doctor. Please park on the street. Once per year a specialist comes in and talks about new medications for Brain Injury Survivors. Without this group I would be lost in life and love.
