Brain injury is the leading cause of disability and death in children and adolescents in the U.S.. There are more than 5.3 million children and adults in the United States who are living with a permanent brain injury-related disability. The greatest challenges many children with brain injury face are changes in their abilities to think, learn, and develop socially appropriate behaviors.

Ways to Prevent a Brain Injury Are:

1 - Focus on Your Surroundings.

2 - Make Safe Choices.

3 - Always Wear a Seatbelt.

4 - Don't Text and Drive.

5 - Wear a helmet

6 - Use proper sports safety equipment

7 - Take it easy after a head injury/concussion

8 - Wait until the doctor says it's OK before returning to rough play or sports. If the brain gets injured again while it's still healing, it will take even longer to completely heal.
