Concussions
It’s often called a "ding," a "bell-ringer," or just a "bump on the head." But in reality, a concussion is a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that changes the way your brain functions. Because it doesn't usually show up on a standard X-ray or CT scan, it is often misunderstood, ignored, or minimized. And that can have serious consequences.
Whether you are an athlete, a family member, or simply a concerned friend, recognizing the signs of a concussion is a critical skill. This certification is designed for you to become... Concussion aware.
