When we think about our physical health, we can often overlook a very important organ that controls everything we do, the brain.   According to the CDC,  “At least 2.8 million Americans sustain traumatic brain injuries in the United States every year,” something that is much more common than we think.  Please join us as Kim Myers from the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey gives an overview of the different types of brain injuries, common causes, symptoms, and various changes that can result from brain injury.  She will also discuss strategies to help individuals with brain injury and explore the role of caregivers and loved ones in supporting survivors and promoting their recovery.  She will also provide a brief overview of programs and services available to individuals with brain injury and their families.

Kim Myers is a community outreach specialist with the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey. She holds bachelor’s degrees in health science and public health from Stockton University and has gained experience in developing and facilitating community programming on a wide variety of health topics. Through her work, she strives to empower individuals of all ages to lead healthy, fulfilling lives and create a better, more connected community.
