Concussions in Young Athletes: More Than a Sports Injury
Concussions are often thought of as “mild” head injuries, but for teens and young athletes they can have serious emotional, behavioral, and academic consequences.

Some recover quickly, but others face post-concussion syndrome, where symptoms last for months and affect school, sports, and relationships.
