For many survivors of intimate partner violence, brain injury isn’t a one-time event. Repeated assaults and strangulation can cause lasting impacts. Brain Injury Awareness Month may be halfway through, but SOAR is just getting started. Because injury doesn’t end when awareness month does. #IPVBI

Almost half (44%) of Canadian women experience intimate partner violence (IPV), and many will sustain brain injury (BI) as a result. Yet IPV-BI often goes unrecognized and unsupported. At SOAR, we explore, educate, and empower—because what is missed cannot be treated. #IPVBI #FactFriday

Not all injuries leave marks. Brain injury from intimate partner violence is often missed because symptoms can look like anxiety, forgetfulness, brain fog, headaches or dizziness. Recognizing IPV-BI is the first step toward connecting survivors with support. #IPVBI #EndGBV
