October is #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth. While public awareness has increased around traumatic brain injuries in athletes, less attention has been given to survivors of domestic violence.

In a Barrow study of 115 patients who had experienced domestic violence, 81 percent said their head injuries were too numerous to count, and only 21 percent had sought medical care at the time of at least one of their injuries. 

Our first-of-its-kind Domestic Violence Brain Injury Program, which is part of the Barrow Brain Injury & Sports Neurology Center, partners with local shelters to identify and treat these individuals.

Our Program has helped more than 630 patients since its launch in 2012, providing them with access to specialists in neurology, neuro-otology, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, cognitive speech therapy, and social work. Their care at Barrow is free, regardless of their insurance coverage, thanks to generous donations and grant funds.
