This morning I spoke with Kyle Horner on AM800 Windsor about e-scooter injuries and considerations for parents: www.iheart.com/podcast/962-... E-scooters are a hot topic for @parachute.ca this week, with updated Canadian injury data released by CIHI sparking lots of discussion.

✅ True! Brain injuries are common among survivors of #IntimatePartnerViolence (up to 92% of all IPV cases) because the head, face, & neck are areas most likely to be injured in an assault. Check out the link below for more info on #braininjury and IPV: 🔗 www.neurotraumapathways.ca/intimate-par...

🤔 True or False? For every 1 NHL player who sustains a #concussion, more than 5,000 women in Canada will suffer the same injury from #IntimatePartnerViolence. Write your answer in the comments below!

Do you have a personal story about your journey with #braininjury that you'd like to share with the world? 🌍 We want to hear from you! Your story can 💪help raise awareness and inspire others ➡️ obia.ca/share-your-s... #IAmTheFaceOfBrainInjury #OBIACanHelp #ABI

This is my work, but also part of my personal life, so I responded to the survey: If care for someone 65+, whether you are 40, 50, 60, 70 or 80 yourself, let us know what information would help you reduce fall risk for that person (and, as a bonus, for yourself as well.) #FallPreventionCanada
