Concussion 101

This workshop is for youth/students 11 years and older and was created to give kids a better understanding of what a concussion is, how it is caused, and how to recognize concussion symptoms. The workshop was designed for our school program in SD 68 to compliment the Grade 6/7 curriculum.  It is also a valuable presentation for specialized youth groups, such as athletic teams and leadership programs.

What did I learn?

“I learned that a concussion does not necessarily mean damage to your head. Your head could be perfectly fine whereas your brain could be suffering.”

"That you don’t have to be knocked out to have a concussion and that you always have to wear a helmet when you bike.”
