Brain Injuries

Image result for brain awareness

Another requirement of the community resources team is posting news pieces on different topics throughout the year onto the Bergen ResourceNet. This month's post talks about brain injuries and tries to emphasize that not all brain injuries are sports related or are caused by traumatic events. Concussions or mild brain trauma can occur from a child simply falling off a swing set. It might seem that the child is fine initially, but it could put them at risk for future brain issues. Everyone assumes sports and brain injuries are directly related, but that is not always the case. Some brain injuries have nothing to do with sports and sports do not always cause brain injuries.
