Helping the #spinalcordinjury & #braininjury health care system understand what is the best and most appropriate care, and how to provide it to all Ontarians.
💡💙 Today is #ActionAnxietyDay!
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges experienced after a #traumaticbraininjury (TBI). Feelings of worry, fear, and uncertainty can affect recovery, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Recovery post-TBI is about more than just physical health; mental & emotional well-being are equally important to recovery. By increasing awareness of TBI & mental health, we can reduce the stigma & help ensure people with TBI have access to all the support/resources they need.
đź§ June is #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth!
@OntarioBIA has launched a flag-raising initiative to increase awareness of #braininjury, spark meaningful conversations & encourage communities across Ontario to better recognize/respond to the needs of individuals living with brain injury.
“Awareness matters because it shapes how people respond. When brain injury is better understood, people are more likely to receive the support, patience, and care they need, and less likely to fall through the cracks.” ~ Ruth Wilcock, CEO of @OntarioBIA.
May is #VisionHealthMonth!
TBI can result in sensory impairments affecting vision, perception, sensation & balance. Individuals with TBI should be screened for visual impairment and/or perceptual deficits & should undergo rehabilitation if needed.
