A Concussion Is A Brain Injury – Brain Injury Awareness Month
The Brain Injury Association of America is launching a year-long, nationwide, education and advocacy campaign in recognition of March being Brain Injury Awareness Month. The campaign launches this month and is called “A concussion is a brain injury. Get the facts.” The campaign will include radio and print public service announcements, awareness proclamations, special events, and a state advocacy effort to introduce legislation to train coaches and protect young athletes.
Many people do not realize that a concussion is a brain injury. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI). They are caused by a bump or blow to the head, many of times while playing a sport. Concussions don’t always mean you lose consciouness.
