NCC NEWS AND UPDATES
March is Brain Injury Awareness Month!
On March 4th, several members of our NCC staff will be heading to Washington DC to support Brain Injury Awareness Day. To view the order of events of the day, check out the Brain Injury Association of America’s website.
Our team will also be involved in the Brain Injury Association of North Carolina’s (BIANC) events throughout the month including workshops at the NC Museum of Art and wellness events throughout the state. BIANC offers great resources and toolkits to share throughout the month.
We look forward to sharing resources and trainings with you each month. If you have a resource that may be beneficial to all of our agencies, please contact Jenny Abramson at Jabramson@neurocc.com.
