Everyone deserves to be safe where they

live, work, and play.

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.

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.

    • Traumatic Brain Stem Injury

    • Evidence-Based TBI Care Pathways

    • Gender and Age Differences in TBI

    • Cumulative Brain 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.

    • Trauma and Brain Injury-Informed Care

    • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

    • Depression and Suicidality

    • TBI and Adult ADHD

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.

    • Human Trafficking

    • Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence

    • Peripartum Depression and Maternal Mortality

    • TBI in Shelter Populations

OUR IMPACT

The theme for the 2024 Brain Injury 5K - Your Way is mental health. Our focus will be on educating and raising awareness on the mental health symptoms of brain injury.
