Kids and adults alike need to be more aware of concussion signs and symptoms, and effective interventions for treatment. Despite COVID-19 modifications, many high-impact sports such as football, soccer, and hockey are gearing up for fall and winter games.

Stayed tuned for new research updates on effective interventions to help concussion sufferers recover and regain cognitive function!
