Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury Among Native Americans in Arizona

Concussion and more severe Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are natural and common injuries among all populations in the US. Native Americans have a higher rate of these injuries than other groups. This session will discuss:

• What is a TBI?
• The impact of TBI on Native Communities in Arizona
• Social challenges faced by TBI survivors

A panel of Native survivors from the state will discuss their own stories and answer any questions from the audience about their experiences.
