Nov 11 was the fifteen-year anniversary of the accident that changed everything in David Grant's life. He's had fourteen anniversaries before this year’s milestone. One might think they are all the same, but this year was tough. Perhaps the toughest.

Learn about #BrainInjury, #TBI, and #PTSD.
Speak about #suicide.
#Listen without judgment.

The more we talk about brain injury and #trauma without #stigma, the more we can make a difference and save a life!

@TyshawnJenkins @wwp This is such an important reminder @TyshawnJenkins

[BrainLine.org @brainline]

@wwp @BrainLine normalizes what living with #BrainInjury, #TBI, and #PTSD is like through personal stories, expert interviews, treatments, and research.

This brings #hope and connection to those who thought they were alone in facing their new normal.

#YouAreNotAlone

[CohenVeteransNetwork @CohenVeterans]

@wwp A5: It's a common fear that asking others about #suicide will put the idea in their head - but that is NOT true. Asking directly "Are you thinking about suicide?" shows that you care and are someone they can talk to about how they're feeling. #WWPChat https://t.co/HULobxkMhj

[BrainLine.org @brainline]

@wwp Talking about #suicide might save a life!

There is so much #stigma surrounding suicide and #MentalHealth. The more we talk about it, the more we understand that these are normal human emotions.
