In this episode of The Sharing Experiences With Concussions/TBI podcast, Caron Gan, a Registered Psychotherapist and Marriage and Family Therapist, welcomes Anne Sanger, Stacey Campbell, and Madeline Roitman to talk about what life is like for families whose loved one has suffered from a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The “Sharing Experiences with Concussion/TBI” Podcast Season 2 Premieres June 1st!

Are you aware that every three minutes, a traumatic brain injury occurs in the life of a Canadian citizen? This number equates to over 455 Canadians experiencing a traumatic brain injury daily each year, meaning that 165,000 people in Canada experience a traumatic brain injury every 365 days. Traumatic brain injury is prevalent in Canada at a rate 100 times more than that of spinal cord injury.

Thankfully, action is being taken by the Headsup Concussion Advocacy Network (HeadsupCAN) and the Ontario Brain Injury Association (OBIA) to combat these concerns. That is where the "Sharing Experiences with Concussion/TBI" podcast comes in!
