Concussion Awareness Procedures
“Preventing injuries will help you stay active throughout your life. Some injuries are easy to see and treat, but what about an injury inside your head? Brain injuries, such as concussions, don’t show on the outside and are not always obvious. Even though others can’t see your concussion, you will feel the effects and need the proper care to get better. The Rowan’s Law resources will help you learn more about concussions, so you can stay active and safe.” – Province of Ontario
