Recovery touches the whole person

A brain injury rarely affects just one thing. The first 30 days focus on the signals that matter most, so you can track them and bring clearer information to your care team.

1. Sleep
Protecting sleep is one of the most powerful recovery tools.
2. Energy
Pacing activity to prevent fatigue crashes.
3. Mood
Mood and emotional regulation often shift after injury.
4. Memory & focus
Attention, memory, and mental clarity.
5. Headaches
Tracking frequency and triggers, and when to call.
6. Daily function
Rebuilding routines and activities of daily living.
