Brain injury is routinely missed in the very systems where it may be most important to recognize it.
Problems with memory, processing, initiation, emotional regulation, impulsivity, fatigue, sleep, frustration tolerance, and executive functioning can be interpreted only as addiction, psychiatric symptoms, resistance, poor choices, or personal failure.
When the injury is missed, the response can miss the person.

Core Philosophy
Screening is the doorway. Education is the intervention.
Identify the history. Understand the symptoms. Reduce the shame. Build a better path forward.
How I Help
Three Ways to Work Together
Individuals & Families
Screening, Education & Brain-Injury-Informed Support
Facilitated screening, individualized education, practical strategy support, coaching, and family/support education designed to help people better understand how brain injury may be affecting everyday life.
Helping treatment programs, justice and reentry organizations, community agencies, and other systems recognize brain injury, implement screening, educate staff, and build practical brain-injury-informed responses.
Professional presentations, conference speaking, panels, webinars, podcasts, and media combining field experience with a perspective shaped by lived experience.
“I do this work because I know what it costs when brain injury is missed — from the inside and from inside the systems trying to respond.”
Marc McNeice, CBIS
Marc McNeice’s history includes 12+ traumatic brain injuries and decades in which many of the consequences were not understood through a brain injury lens.
That path crossed addiction and self-medication, psychiatric treatment, homelessness, incarceration, and systems that frequently saw the behavior without seeing what was happening underneath it.
But that is not where the story ends.
Today, Marc works professionally as a Certified Brain Injury Specialist and Brain Injury Specialist, bringing together lived experience, professional training, and years of work with people in substance-use treatment, corrections, reentry, and other high-risk settings.
He has facilitated hundreds of brain injury screens and helped move screening beyond a form — toward education, practical strategies, staff understanding, accommodations, provider communication, and connection to additional services.
Whether you’re looking for individual support, bringing brain injury screening into a program, training a team, developing a project, or inviting Marc to speak, start with a conversation.
