Become a CAN Champion
Brain injury awareness is important throughout the year. One way you can stay up-to-date on concussion information is to become a CAN Champion. As a CAN Champion, you will receive periodic emails with the latest news, awareness resources, and education opportunities. Whether you are a medical professional, survivor, caretaker, or advocate, CAN resources can help anyone become more informed about brain injury and start the concussion conversation.
If you’re already a CAN Champion, let your community know and encourage others to join the cause!
