## What is Max Impact?

Max Impact is a reliable back-pocket support system for veterans who experience challenges from traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Much like the role a service dog plays in the life of a veteran with PTSD or TBI, “Max” helps the user manage their symptoms, learn about TBI and connect with others to share and support one another. Max Impact allows users to check in with how they are feeling, pick a current challenge they might want to work on and Max will guide them to resources that fit their needs. Max is a dependable companion to any veteran or caregiver living with TBI.

Max Impact features include:

Personalized “check in” feature for mood and symptom management that suggests activities to help with daily challenges

Brain stimulation games for memory, concentration and distraction

Customizable personal contacts section to list your TBI care advocates, friends and family

National and Washington state based TBI-related links and resources
