Today is #RowansLawDay, a day to help raise awareness about #ConcussionSafety. In May 2013, 17-year-old #RowanStringer died as the result of multiple head injuries she sustained while playing rugby. Today & every day, let's encourage discussions about concussions 💜 @RowansLaw

The CRT6 by @Concussion_ISG is a key tool to help spot suspected concussions & is endorsed by https://t.co/D1Lt3JYd1Q experts

▶️If in doubt, sit them out!
▶️Remove the child from play & get them assessed

A terrific opportunity to learn about the rationale behind the changes to the concussion resources now shared by @OPHEA. It was great to work with these Provincial leaders to align updates with evidence-based best practices.

🏒⚽🤕Concussions are common among kids and teens. Most recover quickly, but for 1 in 3, symptoms can last months or years.

Thanks to Dr. Zemek's research, doctors now have a clinical tool that helps families navigate concussion recovery.
