Brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability in teens and young adults.
UGotBrains was developed by the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey to spread
the word about the serious consequences of brain injury. But brain injury is
PREVENTABLE, and it doesn't have to happen to you. We want you to know that your
decisions can affect your life, and your friends and family too.

UGotBrains is funded through the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety
because teens are injured and killed at alarming rates on our roadways.
