How to Use Social Media for TBI Awareness Month
Throughout Brain Injury Awareness Month (March), we’ll be sharing posts and graphics to raise awareness about TBI and support veterans. We invite you to reshare our social media posts or create your own using the posts and graphics below. Each post will focus on key themes like reconnection and healing, bridging gaps in care, and encouraging community involvement.
Together, we can help raise awareness and offer vital support to those affected by brain injuries.
March 4 - Brain Injury Awareness Day Post
Today is Brain Injury Awareness Day. For many Veterans, a brain injury is invisible, but the impact is real. Symptoms can affect memory, mood, sleep, and relationships long after service ends.
This day is a reminder to check in, listen, and connect Veterans and families with care that understands their experiences.

TBI and PTSD can overlap in ways that are hard to untangle. Sleep issues, irritability, and focus challenges may be connected to one or both.
Understanding this helps families and providers respond with care and patience.

American Indian and Alaska Native communities experience higher rates of TBI and often face barriers to care. Many Tribal Veterans live far from specialty services. Culturally informed partnerships help connect Veterans to meaningful support.

Headaches, irritability, memory trouble, and sleep changes can all be signs of TBI. For some Veterans, symptoms show up months or years later.
Recognizing these changes builds the bridge to understanding and support.

A TBI happens every 15 seconds in the U.S., and service members face increased risk from blasts, training, and combat. You don’t have to lose consciousness to have a brain injury. Awareness is the first step toward care and prevention.

Women Veterans are often underdiagnosed when it comes to brain injury. Their symptoms may be overlooked or attributed to other causes.
Listening to women’s experiences helps build better care and stronger support systems.

Brain injury is often called an invisible injury. You may not see it, but it can deeply affect daily life, sleep, and relationships.
Seeing the unseen helps build empathy and stronger support systems.

Many Veterans live with TBI symptoms for years before diagnosis. Families often notice the changes first.
When one person experiences a brain injury, the whole household feels it. Supporting caregivers is part of supporting Veterans.
