Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. That's where a brain injury can happen.

June is brain injury awareness month Canada, and while it's a year-long effort to get the word out on prevention and programs to help those with brain injuries, having a month really gives groups a chance to blitz outwards and spread the message.

The Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association (SBIA), which has an office based out of Moose Jaw, is one of the many groups hard at work this month.

They are the ones behind the campaign of "Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime." Their focus on 2018 is where a brain injury can happen. They know how tragic a brain injury can be for someone so they work hard to help people stop it.

"Brain injury is a lifelong epidemic really and people live with it for the rest of their lives," explained Glenda James, Glenda James, Executive Director of the SBIA. "There is no cure, prevention is the only cure. So what we're trying to do is help people understand that brain injury happens anytime, anywhere, and to anyone."

While it can happen anywhere, car accidents are one of the main causes of brain injury. James said one thing they push for is what happens after recovery. Most people rally around crash survivors once the accident happens, but after they get out of the hospital and life changes because of the injury, people tend to fade away. They want to make sure the support and help remain from friends and family after an accident.

It's almost perfect too that the City of Moose Jaw made bike helmets mandatory for youth this month. The SBIA works with helmets and youth year round, they even have a program with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and WorkSafe Saskatchewan called "Save Your Melon." The goal of that is to spread awareness of all the good a helmet can do for you.

"I'm really pleased to hear this. We've been promoting this for quite some time province-wide and I'm really pleased the municipalities are jumping onto that and saying "we're going to do something." I absolutely applaud having children [wear helmets] because children have developing brains, teenagers especially," James said. "That's a period of very very rapid growth."
