Tell Your Story
The Brain Injury Association of America’s Personal Stories page is a place where individuals with brain injuries and their loved ones can share their experiences. We encourage you to described what helped or hindered your recovery as a way of helping others who come across your story.
Guidelines for Personal Stories
- Story submissions should be between 250 and 1,000 words.
- Stories should not include any profanity, lewd language, explicit sexual language, or other vulgarities.
- We encourage you to submit a photo with your story. This can be directly related to your injury and recovery process or simply be a photo of yourself that you like and are comfortable including.
- Please ensure that all of the information you submit is yours alone and not copyrighted by another individual or organization. This includes photos.
We cannot guarantee that every personal story submission will be published on our website, nor that it will be distributed on other channels after publication.
