The purpose of the Traumatic Brain Injury National Peer Learning Team is to bring together those working and research TBI’s with public health professionals to build a greater awareness and understanding of the causes and impacts of TBI in a collaborative learning environment. By learning together we aim to developing programs and policies to reduce the exposure to TBI.
