SAFE LIVING SPACE MISSION

Safe Living Space is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to brain injury research, education, and advocacy. We coordinate the expertise of healthcare, safety, and subject matter experts to integrate cutting-edge education, research, and policy to identify, prevent, and treat brain injury.

The theme for the 2025 Brain Trauma 5K - Your Way is mental health. Our focus will be on educating and raising awareness on the mental health symptoms of brain trauma. Register here.

OUR INITIATIVES

The Brain Trauma Initiative seeks to actively understand the diverse and unique implications of repetitive brain injury, cumulative concussions, and traumatic brain stem injury.

Not all signs of abuse are visible, and brain injury often presents with mental health symptoms. That is why the Mental Health and Psychosocial Initiative is focused on educating mental health providers on signs and symptoms of brain injury and conducting cutting-edge research to guide actionable, real-world education and policy.

With Safe Living Space data showing the prevalence of brain injury in a domestic violence (DV) shelter population at 57%, the Abuse-Induced Brain Injury Initiative focuses on increasing awareness of brain injury in domestic, intimate partner, and family violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and trafficking and improving access to screening and care for survivors.
