At BrainCharge, we are dedicated to caring for caregivers.

In the United States :

1.5 million people: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults in the United States. Each year an estimated 1.5 million Americans sustain a TBI. [Source: CDC]

200,000 people : More than 200,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with a brain tumor each year. [Source: Cleveland Clinic]

6 million people : More than 6 million people in the US are living with Alzheimer’s. [Source:  Alzheimer's Association]

26% of the population : An estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older -- about 1 in 4 adults -- suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. [Source: Johns Hopkins Medicine]

All of them need care. Most of them rely on a family caregiver. A caregiver is a person who provides direct care (as for children, elderly people, or the chronically ill).  Often the responsibility of caregiving falls to an unpaid family member or loved one.
