Concussions: What You Need to Know!

Concussions are very prevalent. Often  teachers, parents, young children and teens, do not recognize the symptoms of a concussion, nor do they understand the seriousness of the injury. This presentation will focus on the signs and symptoms of concussions, and suggest prevention measures that can be taken to minimize the effect of concussions.  The workshop will also include a teen, who suffered two concussions in a short period of time, who will share her experience, symptoms, and the long term brain injury she suffered because of the concussion, and her mother, who will share what she wished she would have know before her daughter’s injury.
