I’ve made a commitment this month to share knowledge about Mental Health and how it may impact those we love. For our final week, I bring the topic of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). I hope that you haven’t had this in your own life or in the lives of those you love. However, if you have experienced this, I want you to know firstly, that you are not alone.

I’ve made a commitment this month to share knowledge about Mental Health and how it may impact those we love. It’s week 4, and I want to discuss Dementia. Many of the mental health topics I’ve covered focus on our children and younger generations.

So I would ask that you take a moment, no matter where you are, to pause and recognize yourself
