FOR PARENTS

​

From the beginning, the goal of our program has been to enhance the health and safety of Maine high school athletes.  One of the ways we’ve accomplished our goal – besides the important baseline and post-concussion testing that we do – is through education.

​

When it comes to concussion recognition and management, there is nobody more important than the parent. In this section of our web site, look for news of the latest research and tangible advances in the understanding of concussion – a preventable injury that strikes ten-percent of the athletes playing contact sports.

​

Keep up with the latest on concussion news through our Facebook page – which is updated daily.
