À propos de cet audio
Concussions are more than "just a bump" — they're brain injuries that can seriously impact a child's life. In this episode, Dr. Shelina Babul, concussion expert and creator of the Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT), joins us to break down why concussions matter, especially in children and youth. We explore common misconceptions, early symptoms, and how CATT is changing concussion care across Canada and beyond.
Whether you're a parent, coach, teacher, or teen, you'll learn how to recognize and respond to concussions early — key to safer recoveries and better outcomes. Tune in and learn how we can all protect kids' brains.
