Learn about brain injury
Brain injury is the #1 cause of death and disability for kids and young adults in the United States. It affects more than 3 million NEW families each year in the United States alone! Causes of brain injury include traumatic events such as motor vehicle accidents, sports concussions, blast injuries from war, falls, child abuse, and any other blow to the head. Brain injuries can also occur as a result of non-traumatic causes like strokes, meningitis, high fevers, poisoning, near-drowning, substance abuse, insufficient oxygen, and many more.
