Course Overview

Brain injuries, including concussions, have become a major public health issue, especially in areas like sports and everyday life. This course offers a clear and structured approach to understanding brain injuries, their impact, and the necessary steps for recovery and prevention. Concussions, for example, are a form of brain injury that occurs when the brain is violently shaken or impacted, leading to a temporary disruption of brain function. In many cases, these injuries go undetected and untreated, leading to long-term consequences for the individuals affected. By understanding the various types of brain injuries, such as acquired brain injuries (ABIs) and sports-related concussions, this course aims to raise awareness and equip learners with the knowledge needed to manage and prevent these injuries.
