The Sarah Jane Brain Project

What is a Brain Project?

 

A Brain Project is an advocacy effort in honor or memory of a child or young adult with a Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury Plan(PABI). The first Brain Project was created in honor of Sarah Jane, who is the namesake of The Sarah Jane Brain Foundation (SJBF). A Brain Project is an advocacy effort in honor or memory of a child or young adult with a Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury Plan(PABI).

Each brain project is individually named after the person and tells their story. Brain Projects can be created anywhere in the nation and there are many topics to explore. For example, The Zachery Lystedt Brain Project is a direct outcome of the Lystedt Law, which passed in all 50 states starting in Washington in 2009. This law prevents young athletes from concussions and other brain injuries during training, practices, and games. The consequences of returning to a game could be life-altering. Another example is The Sarah Jane Brain Project, which creates and implements the PABI Plan, leading the way for a standardized evidence-based system of care.

Brain injuries have a wide variety of causes which should be explored further. Some examples of potential Brain Projects include, but are not limited to:

  • Prevention of Substance Abuse or Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma
  • Identification of Sports-Related Concussions (such as youth soccer) or Brain Tumors
  • Treatment of Seizures, Hydrocephalus or Strokes

Share your story and make a difference today. Brain Projects lead us one step closer to finding a cure. Be a voice of hope!
