The JAFCO Spring into Summer annual luncheon became a virtual event this year because of the pandemic. The benefit was for Family Matters, a JAFCO Support Network, which provides free, intensive, highly personalized support to families in times of crisis or going through challenging life transitions in the Greater Philadelphia community. Family Matters offers specialized case management and support services to assist families in times of crisis in Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey.
Family Matters serves families who are facing the impact of trauma and challenges such as mental health and substance abuse issues, divorce and custody issues, single parenthood, grandparent or other relative caregivers, and raising children with developmental disabilities or other special needs.

Concussions have been getting more attention in the news recently as we become more aware of the effects of cumulative brain injuries for people of all ages. Many people think that sports injuries from football and soccer are the primary way people get concussions. However, concussions also frequently result from falls, car accidents, military service and domestic violence. Personally, I have known multiple people with concussion symptoms that have lingered for more than a month after injury, which lead me wanting to highlight this topic.
Allison Maffei is a doctor of physical therapy (DPT) and is a Neurological Certified Specialist (NCS) which includes concussion treatment. Per Maffei, “A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), but no one usually calls it a concussion unless it’s a sports injury. Some people might think it’s less severe, but we still have a brain injury.”
