Traumatic brain injury help website launchedRSS Feed

The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) has launched a new website to provide useful content and assistance to those service members affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI).

TBI is one of the leading diagnoses of combat injuries and the site, developed with marketing innovation company Griffin York and Krause, provides information about TBI from the military health perspective.

The website also offers advice and resources to service members, veterans, families and carers.

"DVBIC's mission is to serve active duty military, their dependents and veterans with traumatic brain injury with state-of-the art medial care, innovative clinical research initiatives and educational programmes," said Travis York, president of Griffin York and Krause.

The website could also be of use to British servicemen and women, such as Thomas Birch, a royal marine who suffered a brain injury in a road accident while serving in Afghanistan.

Mr Birch was serving with British forces in Helmand Province in 2006 when the Land Rover that he was travelling in plunged 100ft from the top of a cliff.
