On June 16, 2015, WMTW aired news on brain injury prevention sessions that were presented to Thornton Academy high school students by UNE faculty and members of the Michael T. Goulet Traumatic Brain Injury and Epilepsy Foundation.
Michael Burman, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Psychology and the Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences (CEN), and Ed Bilsky, Ph.D., vice president for Research and Scholarship and founding director of CEN, joined with members of the Goulet family to tell the story of Michael Goulet, a former resident of Saco, Maine, who suffered a traumatic brain injury at the age of 13 in 2003 and then developed a seizure disorder from which he ultimately died in 2010.
Burman, Bilsky and the Goulets spoke about the damage that brain injuries cause and what measures can be taken to prevent them.
