Help Seniors Live Better, Longer: Prevent Brain Injury

Available Resources for Children or Caregivers of Older Adults

As part of the Help Seniors Live Better, Longer: Prevent Brain Injury initiative, CDC has developed easy-to-use English- and Spanish-language materials for older adults and their caregivers. Each of these materials uses a concise question–and-answer format to provide information that older adults and their caregivers can use to take an active role in preventing, recognizing, and responding to TBI. These materials will be available for download online. It will also be possible to place bulk orders for these materials.

Use CDC's Online Order Form to request any of the CDC materials listed below or visit the Help Seniors Live Better, Longer: Prevent Brain Injury CDC Web site to view or download electronic copies of these materials.
