Approximately 5.3 million Americans are living with a STBI-related disability and the consequences of STBI can affect all aspects of an individual’s life. At Just A Breath Away Foundation, we know that even a small difference can mean the world for the survivor of a traumatic brain injury. Kathleen experienced many small kindnesses throughout her recovery, and it made a noticeable difference for her and her family members. This is why Just A Breath Away is a platform created out of love and hope to provide STBI survivors the life-changing support they have been hoping for.

The medical research and developments surrounding severe traumatic brain injuries have greatly advanced in recent years, but there is still so much we do not know and so far to go! The starting point for a better future begins with awareness of STBI and learning more about those who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury.
A non-fatal STBI may result in an extended period of unconsciousness (coma) or amnesia after the injury. For individuals hospitalized after a STBI, almost half (43%) have a related disability one year after the injury. A STBI may lead to a wide range of short- or long-term issues affecting:
Cognitive Function (e.g., attention and memory)
Motor Function (e.g., extremity weakness, impaired coordination and balance)
Sensation (e.g., hearing, vision, impaired perception and touch)
Emotion (e.g., depression, anxiety, aggression, impulse control, personality changes)

Just A Breath Away also wants to connect as many STBI survivors as possible. Ten voices are louder than one, and a hundred louder than ten. It is our hope that through Just A Breath Away those affected by STBI can loudly voice the effects of brain trauma and the need for improved treatment, recovery options, and support. Join us!
