Brain Injury Association of America TN Chapter with Stacy Mulder

Jason and Mindy Hoover Episode 32

25,000 Tennesseans suffer new brain injuries every year, yet most people don't understand the "invisible injury" that survivors face daily. Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Stacey Mulder, Executive Director of the Brain Injury Association of America Tennessee chapter, as we explore this hidden health crisis in Middle Tennessee.

Stacey reveals shocking truths about brain injuries: they're caused by everything from military blast exposures to youth sports, slip-and-fall accidents to strokes. We discuss why private insurance won't cover cognitive therapy for survivors and what's being done to change Tennessee legislation. You'll discover breakthrough technologies helping survivors communicate, critical prevention steps everyone should know, and free resources available right here in our community.

Whether you're a parent concerned about sports safety or someone who knows a brain injury survivor, this Nashville podcast episode will change how you think about brain health. Learn why 64 million Americans live with brain injuries, how Tennessee's support network operates, and simple steps that could prevent tragedy.

Key takeaways include understanding the invisible nature of brain injuries, knowing when to seek help after head trauma, and discovering how community advocacy creates real legislative change for local nonprofits serving our most vulnerable neighbors.
