Mary Kennedy, Ph.D. 
Professor and Chair, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences.

Chances are that you know someone who has had a concussion; maybe you have even had one yourself. Some of the signs and symptoms of possible concussion include drowsiness, confusion, agitation and headaches that don’t go away. Come learn about what we now know about concussion in 2021, including changes to the brain and recovery. The attention drawn to concussion in athletes, children, young adults, and veterans, has allowed us to figure out how to support them when they have lingering challenges at school, home, work and in relationships.

Dr. Kennedy will explain the most recent statistics, what can be done to help those with lasting concussion symptoms, and what you can do to help if you know someone with a concussion.
