First Nations women are more likely than non-Indigenous women to experience traumatic brain injury from domestic violence. But they don’t always access health care.

Some First Nations women who sustain head injuries from family violence don’t access health care and support. We studied why and found one reason is a fear their children will be taken away.
Health and service workers are not asking women about a potential traumatic brain injury, there’s a lack of referral options, and often no diagnosis.
