Who is the focus audience?
Cognitive Functioning Brain Injury (CFBI) is who we are, a subgroup of brain injury survivors with symptoms that are not necessarily obvious or visible to others. While those symptoms are challenging and often debilitating, the struggle is often hidden and the fight to overcome is usually concealed. This will often result in much less attention from medical professionals, and sometimes caregivers as well, given that nothing is obvious, bruised, or broken. Although CFBI are relatively healthy for the most part, their symptoms will have all sorts of impact on their daily living. As it will become clear throughout this webspace, the right dose of support and relief can help CFBI emerge from their darkness, and forge their co-existence as productive citizens in our society.
That is the CFBI burden, and together we can make a difference.
This CFBI category includes (TBI) Traumatic Brain Injury (combat soldiers, sports athletes, accidents, etc.) and (ABI) Acquired Brain Injury (strokes, hemorrhagic strokes, hereditary or other diseases that affect the brain, etc.). We also include misdiagnosed PTSD patients and COVID-19 long-haulers (long-COVID), who are experiencing brain injury-like symptoms, for obvious reasons.
