Share Your Story. Inspire Change.
At Faces of CTE, we believe that storytelling is a powerful force for understanding, healing, and advocacy. Our mission is to humanize Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) by publishing first-hand accounts, expert insights, and educational content that sheds light on this often misunderstood condition.
If you have a story to tell, a perspective to share, or knowledge to contribute — we want to hear from you.
