Dear Friend,
As the school year starts up again, the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) wants to equip you with the resources you need to best care for the children in your life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has created an array of resources on concussions in school settings.
Being able to identify and respond to concussions early can help kids get better sooner. Through its partnership with CDC, BIAA is excited to share the CDC's concussion information with you. We also encourage you to call our National Brain Injury Information Center for individualized resources and support in your state.
The HEADS UP to High School Sports online training is one of many great resources you can find through the CDC HEADS UP program. The training details the impact of sports-related injury and what to do when you suspect a concussion. For health care providers, the CDC Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Guideline is an essential tool providers can use to improve the health of their patients.
Whether you are a parent, coach, school professional, or health care provider, BIAA believes these resources will help you recognize, respond to, and minimize the risk of concussion or other serious brain injuries.
