Concussion Education

Regular delivery of concussion education can significantly improve knowledge about concussions, leading to positive changes in attitudes and behaviors related to concussions. It is estimated that one in five sport-related injuries are concussions.

However, it is surprising to note that only about 200,000 concussions are reported each year in Canada. This highlights the under-addressed nature of concussions as a health issue.  

Educating ourselves and others about concussions is vital because it enables early recognition, proper medical assessments, and appropriate management. Understanding and awareness of concussions can make a difference in how a person recovers from a concussion.
