This Concussion Awareness Day, we’re encouraging people to join the cause by taking the #MelonPledge and becoming a Concussion Awareness Now Champion.

A concussion can happen in a variety of ways, and symptoms can differ from person to person. Fortunately, there are doctors, medical professionals, and other researchers working to examine the symptoms people experience after getting a concussion, as well as why some people take longer to recover than others.

Concussion Awareness Now coalition member, the National Council on Aging, was featured on the Aging Today podcast in July to discuss the dangers of falling.

The National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) brought Concussion Awareness Now's Melon Family to their conference earlier this month.

Any blow to the head or jolt to the body that causes a concussion can also lead to changes in cognitive skills, like thinking and communicating. One type of health care professional who can help you manage these symptoms is a speech-language pathologist.

Concussion Awareness Now has introduced the Melons to help educate people about concussions and the importance of seeking care after an injury.

People often associate concussions with sport, but concussions are far more common in non-sport activities.

Concussion Awareness Now unveiled today a new public service campaign to draw attention to concussions and the importance of seeking care.

Most concussions happen just like that, during the ordinary activities of everyday life. That's why Concussion Awareness Now has partnered with actress and comedian Rebel Wilson.
