Prevention is a new health and wellness Web site designed to raise awareness of prevalent, yet largely preventable health and safety issues. Through interviews with medical professionals, and video documentaries with individuals whose lives have been changed, Smart Well seeks to engage and motivate people to make smart and healthy choices. The first featured topic is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Although Be Smart. Be Well. will be updated periodically with new topics, all prior topics, including TBI, will always be accessible. Visit www.besmartbewell.com today, where awareness and prevention meet.Brain Injury Organizations Brain Injury Association of Illinois -

It also makes TBI screenings mandatory for all returning members of the Illinois Army National Guard. If you are a veteran or service member suffering from symptoms associated with PTSD or TBI, or if you think someone you care about may be experiencing post-deployment stress or other combat-related emotional issues, call the Illinois Warrior Assistance Program confidential 24-hour toll-free helpline, 1-866-554-IWAP (4927) for more information and help.
