Concussions can happen during sports, falls, accidents, or everyday activities. Knowing how to respond after a head injury is an important part of protecting brain health.

5 important steps for concussion recovery:
1. Get evaluated by a health care professional.
2. Rest and prioritize sleep to support recovery.
3. Limit activities that worsen symptoms, including excessive screen time or strenuous exercise.
4. Gradually return to normal activities as symptoms improve and with medical guidance.

Follow your health care provider’s recommendations throughout recovery.
Every concussion is different. If a concussion is suspected, seek medical advice and monitor symptoms closely.
