'The Black Box'. Understanding, talking about and breaking stigmas on traumatic brain injuries

If traumatic is in the name, that can make it a subject all the more difficult to talk about.  However, we must. 1 in 4 Ohioans have or will experience a traumatic brain injury and that number is likely under-reported.   A TBI can result from a fall down the steps, playing a contact sport or being victimized by domestic violence.   But Ohio is also fortunate in that we're producing cutting edge research into the brain that leads to effective treatment of the brain.  Joining the episode are two such experts:  Dr. Nicole Fornalski, a Postdoctoral Fellow in Rehabilitation Neuropsychology and Brei Miller, Program Director for the Ohio Brain Injury Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.   They talk to Cassie and Scott about these injuries, their correlation to suicide and how you can broach this topic with someone even if they're not quite ready to discuss it.
