Anne Forrest’s experience with mild traumatic brain injury was the subject of the comprehensive article, “I Wanted My Brain Back” in The Washingtonian magazine (March 2007). The Washingtonian is a monthly print magazine about life in the Washington, DC area.  An economist before her accident, Anne was injured on June 14, 1997 and is now a volunteer at BIAA.  The story has helped patients and families understand how an invisible injury can cause unexpected damage and how hard recovery can be.  Please click here to read the article
