Support TBI Awareness

Why This Story?

This award-winning film highlights the invisible challenges TBI survivors and their family caregivers face during recovery. We want to give hope and inspiration that given the right opportunities brain injury survivors can have a recover back to a life they love after brain injury.

Jamie’s story centers around person-centered care and the healing options anyone can use to live a full life after a TBI. She received integrative care from her medical team as well as family caregivers led by her mom. She also received opportunities to recover like being a High Fives Grant Athlete, Utah TBI Fund recipient, and going back to skiing with the National Ability Center.

Jamie received complementary medicine treatments led by her mom, Grace MA, PhD candidate on mind-body medicine with a focus on TBI recovery. Many aspects of Jamie’s recovery are miraculous, and the incredible fact is most of those science-backed, peer-reviewed improvements are re-creatable for other individuals!

By telling Jamie’s story we hope to change the narrative regarding all brain injury recoveries.We want to ignite a passion in the minds of TBI survivors and family caregivers showing them how they can have the best recovery possible.

We also want to show those involved in policy change the importance and role through TBI recovery of family involvement, person centered practices, complementary medicine and healing opportunities. Show the medical teams the importance and necessity of integrative brain injury recovery techniques.

How Will The Funds Be Used?

Marketing and PR: We were honored to attend 17 different film festivals and win multiple awards on our film festival run in 2023/24. Our film festival tour strengthened our belief that brain injury is a silent pandemic that needs public attention. According to the CDC Each year an estimated 1.5 million Americans sustain a TBI. We need awareness, understanding and opportunities to grow for the general public in the US and across the globe. We can create narrative and awareness with marketing and PR for our film.

Education and nonprofit screenings: MoCrazy Strong Foundation is proud to provide talks and screenings of the film #MoCrazyStrong to educational institutions and nonprofits that are unable to provide the funding needed for the event.

Licensing and Legal: we need to make sure all our t’s are crossed and i’s dotted with the legalities of the film.

Audience

• People who have survived a Traumatic Brain Injury and their families.
  We want to promote the possibility of a successful recovery and motivate them to keep taking steps on the days they don’t see the progress and feel the mountain is too big to climb.
• Therapists and support staff  for people with TBI deficits
  These individuals have the daily task of working with TBI survivors as well as their family caregivers.  If they can communicate and understand different outcome opportunities more TBI survivors will have successful outcomes.
• Medical school students and educators
  A large amount of knowledge on TBI recovery has been scientifically proven false in recent years.  With a modern understanding of neuroplasticity we want to give a true story with steps on how to recreate my recovery with other individuals.
• Individuals involved in making policy for trauma centers, state, federal and insurance companies
  This documentary touches on policy regarding family involvement, complementary medicine, person centered practice and providing the resources needed for a successful TBI recovery.  This audience makes decisions regarding those policies.
• Adventure sport participants who have overcome trauma or knows someone who has
  These are individuals who are attracted to the film because of the action footage, and we also want to bring awareness of TBI recovery options to the public
