This new resource, brought to you by NASHIA and the Brain Injury Association of America, seeks to provide an overview of the practical implications for the new designation of brain injury as a chronic condition by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

The guide covers what this new designation means from a policy level, and also offers tips for states on how to support advocates, leverage the designation for additional Medicaid considerations, and utilize it beyond Medicare/Medicaid.

NASHIA's partners at the KITE Toronto Rehabilitation Institute University Health Network recently disseminated an important resource for the brain injury community: Sex, Gender and TBI: A Path to Recovery and Care. 

The materials (infographics packaged up in an easy to view "flip-book") can be shared widely. The authors of the resource hope that people with brain injury and their families find this educational material useful in helping them understand brain injury, what to expect, and the implications of sex and gender for their injury journey.
