What is your reason for coming to UNM?
The University of New Mexico’s Brain Injury Resource Center, or BIRC, held it’s first Unmasking Brain Injury event earlier this semester, meant to create awareness of brain trauma from first-hand accounts of afflicted individuals. Janelle Torres-Groover, a health educator with BIRC, said the center held a “mask making party”, and welcomed anyone in the community who had suffered a brain injury to make a mask. “The idea started with the Veterans Administration. They were doing this mask making project with veterans who were coming back from the war with brain injuries,” Torres-Groover said.
