Concussion Toolkit for Parents & Athletes

  • A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused by a fall, bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth.  A concussion can be caused by a shaking, spinning or a sudden stopping and starting of the head.  Even a “ding,” “getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.  A concussion can happen even if you haven’t been knocked out.
