🧠💜 Today is Rowan’s Law Day - a day to honor Rowan Stringer and raise awareness about #concussion safety.

🧡 It’s the #NationalDayForTruthandReconciliation. Today, we honor the survivors of residential schools and those who live with the ongoing impacts of colonialism. It is our responsibility to listen, learn, and work towards a future rooted in respect and healing. #OrangeShirtDay

🧠 September is #ConcussionAwarenessMonth. Do you know about the Toronto Concussion Care Navigation Tool? It is a practical tool to help individuals 18+ find a clinic in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) that provides specialized evidence-based concussion care.

The leading cause of spinal cord injury (SCI) in Ontario is #falls. Falls can happen at any age, but older adults are especially at risk. Once someone has an SCI, they are also more likely to fall (or fall again) than the general population.

❗Spinal Cord Injury Care Gap Alert: Poor availability of diagnostic imaging in rural and remote areas.

🏫 ⚽ Going back to school means fall sports and recreational activities are going to start soon – so, it’s the perfect time to talk about #concussion prevention.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

📚💡Back to School is almost here! Did you know that your child DOES NOT have to be symptom-free to return to school following a #concussion? It is ok for concussion symptoms to mildly and briefly worsen with activity as kids return to school.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

👧 🧠 Concussion risks change as children grow.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Taking care of your basic needs is essential to your recovery following a #concussion. ✅ DO focus on managing your concussion symptoms and getting back to your regular activities.

100

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

❗What you do in the first few days following a #concussion is important. In the past, patients were told to have absolute rest. Current evidence, however, suggests that light and cautious activity, with rest as needed, can be part of the recovery process.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

The Canadian Clinical Practice Guideline for the Rehabilitation of Adults with Moderate to Severe #TraumaticBrainInjury (TBI) brings together evidence-based recommendations across 21 chapters, covering key components of rehabilitation and assessment and rehabilitation of brain injury sequelae.

A fall. A car accident. A sports injury. A workplace accident. In an instant, life can change – for you, your family, and your friends. A #TraumaticBrainInjury (TBI) can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. It can affect your everyday life, from how you think, feel, communicate, and move.

100

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

❗Where you live should not determine the care and rehabilitation you receive. Every individual with #TraumaticBrainInjury (TBI) or #SpinalCordInjury (SCI) deserves timely access to high-quality care and rehabilitation.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

June is #NationalMigraineandHeadacheAwarenessMonth! People with TBI can suffer from pain/headaches immediately following their injury & throughout their recovery. Pain and headaches can have a negative effect on recovery - thereby, making proper assessment & management of pain/headaches essential.

100

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

🧠 June is #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth! Falls are the leading cause of #TraumaticBrainInjury (TBI) – responsible for ~ 30% of concussions and 72% of mod-severe TBIs across Ontario.

100

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

🧠 June 27 was #PTSDAwarenessDay! While brain injury & PTSD are unique conditions, they share similar symptom profiles, including difficulties with memory, sleep & mood. This overlap can complicate assessment, diagnosis & rehabilitation, thereby highlighting the importance of trauma-informed care.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

🧡 June is #NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth – a time to recognize and celebrate the rich histories, contributions, and resilience of Indigenous Peoples across Canada.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

🧠 June is #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth! Do you know about your local brain injury association? Local brain injury associations amplify the voices of individuals with brain injury and provide meaningful programs, such as peer support groups and community-based services.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

💡 💙 Today is #ActionAnxietyDay! Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges experienced after a #traumaticbraininjury (TBI). Feelings of worry, fear, and uncertainty can affect recovery, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

🧠 June is #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth! @ontariobia.bsky.social has launched a flag-raising initiative to increase awareness of #braininjury, spark meaningful conversations, and encourage communities across Ontario to better recognize and respond to the needs of individuals living with brain injury.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

May is #VisionHealthMonth! TBI can result in sensory impairments affecting vision, perception, sensation & balance. Individuals with TBI should be screened for visual impairment and/or perceptual deficits and should undergo rehabilitation if needed. kite-uhn.com/brain-injury...

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Clear communication with your Primary Care Provider matters after a #traumaticbraininjury (TBI). Sharing your experiences, symptoms, and recovery progress with your Primary Care Provider helps ensure you receive the right support, timely interventions, and coordinated care.

100

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Primary care plays an essential role in helping individuals stay healthy & prevent avoidable complications after an #SCI. Yet, people with SCI often face barriers receiving basic primary health care due to physical and systemic barriers and SCI knowledge/expertise gaps among primary care providers.

Who is caring for the caregiver? Families of people with #braininjury often do not receive the support they need, contributing to the stress and burden they experience. On #NationalCaregiversDay, we recognize the vital importance of caregivers to Canada's health and social care systems.

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

February is #PreventativeHealthAwarenessMonth! Falls are the leading cause of #TBI and #SCI – but many falls can be prevented. Raising awareness, reducing risks, and taking simple safety measures can help prevent a fall.

💖 It’s #SexualHealthWeek – a reminder that sexual health is an essential part of overall well-being! Individuals with #TBI may experience changes in intimacy, relationships, and sexual function. These experiences are more common than many people realize.

100

Neurotrauma Care Pathways @neurotraumapath.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

It’s #SexualHealthWeek! Sexual health and relationships are among the highest priorities for individuals after #spinalcordinjury. Clinicians should ensure conversations about sexuality, intimacy, and reproductive health take place across acute, rehabilitation, and community settings.
