GOOGLE+ In the interest of bringing greater awareness to Traumatic Brain Injury (also known as
intracranial injury), an image post by a G+ site called "TBI Support for Family and Caregivers" caught our eye. Scroll down and check out the informative post.
It's a very personal G+ site maintained by Pamela Guerin who works at BayShore Agency and lives in New Gretna, New Jersey. The site tracks her work with family and caregivers of persons struck by TBI. It also informs. For example, one post explains that
TBI "occurs when an external force traumatically injures the brain. TBI can be classified based on severity, mechanism, or other features. Head injury usually refers to TBI, but is a broader category because it can involve damage to structures other than the brain, such as the scalp and skull (from en.wikipedia.org).
Without a doubt, "TBI Support for Family and Caregivers" cares very much.
This past March 2015 — which was Brain Injury Awareness Month — the site offered this fine post:
To honor our friends, supporters, and all the remarkable survivors of brain injury, we are launching the #TBIaffectedme campaign! Our goal is to encourage those affected by brain injury, whether directly or indirectly, to share their stories using #TBIaffectedme.
By taking part in our campaign, you can unite with the thousands of New Jerseyans living with brain injury and their families who are taking action to ensure their voices are heard. We would welcome your support!
Do consider joining this #TBIaffectedme Twitter campaign, if you like. After all, this advocacy project began because TBI did affect us who are participants of Mount Sinai Hospital's Bridge and Phase 2 programs. —tbi advocate
