Research Participation Needed🚨

Have you experienced a head injury or repeated head impacts?
Researchers at Mount Sinai are conducting an online survey to better understand knowledge of brain health, aging, and dementia in individuals with a history of head injury.

👉 Who can participate?
• Adults 18+
• Anyone in the U.S.
• Those who have had a head injury or repeated head impacts (even if unsure or undiagnosed)

📝 What’s involved?
A one‑time anonymous online survey that takes about 20–30 minutes. Participation is voluntary, and
your responses will be kept confidential. The study does not provide medical evaluation or diagnosis.

Your input will help researchers improve understanding of healthy aging after head injury.

🧠 We’re less than ONE MONTH away from Giving Tuesday!

Because No One Should Navigate Brain Injury Alone.

On December 1, people around the world will come together to make a difference, and we’re asking our community to help us make an impact right here in Maryland!

For individuals and families affected by brain injury, the journey can be filled with uncertainty. From finding specialized resources to navigating changes in independence, relationships, and everyday life, knowing where to turn can make all the difference.

At the Brain Injury Association of Maryland (BIAMD), we’re committed to ensuring that survivors, caregivers, and families never have to face these challenges alone.

💙 Every call we answer.
💙 Every family we connect with resources.
💙 Every survivor who finds a supportive community.
💙 Every opportunity to educate and advocate.

These are the connections that matter, and your generosity helps make them possible.

As we count down to Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in building a stronger, more connected brain injury community.

🧠 Every story matters. Every connection counts. Every gift makes a difference.

📅 Mark your calendar for December 1, 2026, and help us ensure that no one navigates brain injury alone.
