Last year I had the privilege of chatting with Barb Butler—survivor of brain injury and powerful advocate. Link below to hear Barb's story and support the #125DaysToSayYes campaign.
Day #1 of 125 Days to Say Yes! Meet Barb Butler of Regina, Saskatchewan.
Her MP is @MichaelKramSK Conservative Member of Parliament for Regina-Wascana.
Ask your MP to support Bill C-277. @AMacGregor4CML

My friend Shirley lost her son from overdose following a devastating #TBI. We can help prevent tragic stories like Shirley’s by providing integrated, wrap-around, long-term supports for people living with the aftermath of brain injuries. #125DaysToSayYes

Difficulty speaking, stuttering, and missing words post-concussion?
Are we overlooking the impacts of #concussion on language abilities?
