Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research

🧠 What is Post-Concussion Syndrome? While most people recover from a concussion within a few weeks, some experience symptoms that linger much longer—this is known as Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS). Fatigue, headaches, dizziness, memory issues, and mood changes are just a few of the challenges PCS can bring. While rare cases may have lasting effects, most symptoms are treatable, and with the right care, many people can manage and minimize the impact on their daily lives. Raising awareness is key. The more we understand PCS, the better we can support those living with it. 💛 #PostConcussionSyndrome #BrainInjuryAwareness #ProtectTheBrain #ConcussionRecovery #BrainHealth

Spring is here, the days are getting longer, and it’s the perfect season for kids to hop on their bikes and enjoy the outdoors! 🌸🚲 A little sunshine, fresh air, and movement can do wonders after a long winter. But before they ride off, make sure they’re properly prepared. Each year, hundreds of thousands of kids are injured in bike accidents—and bike helmets can prevent 52–60% of bike-related head injury deaths. 🧠💥 Take simple, precautionary steps now to keep your kids safe all season long. #SafetyFirst #BikeHelmets #SpringtimeRides #BrainHealth
