Athol-Royalston Regional

... A School-District setting the standards by which all learning-environments here in the Commonwealth should be measured by. 

We at the Brain Injury Association of MA continuously make it our mission to venture to schools all throughout the State, trying to spread knowledge, resources, and awareness.  It is so fulfilling when communities are not only receptive, but also quite inviting. From the moment we checked-in at the main office, to our first steps onto that gymnasium floor, all attention was placed on our presentation!

Such a reflection on those Teachers, Administrators, and Parents!! Our program was split-up between the grades. 

  I must say that one of the best parts of the whole day was being introduced to, and learning of ^that^ young man's story of survival.  It's not often that we encounter another "Child+MamaBeaR" duo who get it. Another thing we have in common?

Javan Fox is his name, being a Strong Survivor is his game!! 

I've said this before, but it's worth repeating now:

Schools, Communities, Humans ~~~

Brain-Injuries do not discriminate.
They can happen anytime, anywhere, to anyone.
Our Programs have proven, time&time again, that just basic knowledge of this invisible injury does in fact lead to decreased risk of them occurring!!
