What is unidentified traumatic brain injury? Learn how it can happen and what can be done about it from people with brain injury and experts in the field.

Unpredictability and uncertainty after a TBI are scary, but life will get easier as problems are solved and families develop a new normal.

Friendships often fall apart after someone has a TBI, adding a whole other layer of loss on top of the brain injury.

Acceptance of a "new self" can be especially hard for perfectionists and high achievers; they have a hard time accepting the loss of who they once were.

Although it is painful for a person with TBI and his family to recognize what has been lost from the injury, that understanding also frees them to grieve and move forward.

Concussion Recovery Centers, located near service members' units, are quiet, comfortable environments conducive for rest and recovery after a brain injury.

The number of service members and veterans using the Brain Fitness Center has jumped exponentially.

Technology, like the use of smartphones as a memory tool, has helped advance strategies for people with TBI.

Biomarkers are anything that can measure acutely and then identify the prognosis or future development of a person's brain injury.

SLPs perform standardized cognitive and language tests as well as an in-depth interview with people with TBI to hear what difficulties they are facing in their day-to-day life.
