This resolution supports the designation of September 19, 2025, as "National Concussion Awareness Day" and addresses the significant health concerns surrounding mild traumatic brain injuries (concussions). Drawing from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, the resolution highlights alarming statistics about concussions, including an estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million sports-related concussions annually, with approximately 283,000 children seeking emergency care for sports or recreation-related brain injuries each year. The resolution recognizes the serious impact of concussions on physical, mental, and social health, and calls for greater awareness and understanding of proper diagnosis and management. It encourages federal, state, and local policymakers to collaborate on raising awareness about concussion effects and supports further research and prevention efforts. Additionally, the resolution commends organizations and individuals working to increase public understanding of mild traumatic brain injuries and emphasizes the importance of return-to-play and return-to-learn protocols to ensure proper recovery.
