Today is World Mental Health Day—a powerful reminder that mental well-being is just as important as physical health. At Safe Sports Network, we’re committed to supporting athletes, coaches, and families by fostering environments where everyone feels safe to speak up, seek help, and support one another. Let’s continue breaking the stigma and prioritizing mental wellness on and off the field. You are not alone—your mental health matters. 💚

🧠 Today is National Concussion Awareness Day — a vital reminder to protect your brain health 💡💪.

📊 Each year in the United States, an estimated 1.1 to 1.9 million sports-related concussions occur among children under 18. Despite these high numbers, many young athletes still don’t report their symptoms to a coach, athletic trainer, or healthcare provider.

✅ Recognizing and reporting a concussion early is essential for a safe and successful return to school 📚, sports 🏃‍♂️, and daily life. No game is worth putting your brain at risk.

📌 Take the time to learn the signs and symptoms of a concussion — and understand the steps to recover safely.

ℹ️ For more information on concussion awareness and returning to sports safely, talk to your Safe Sports Network Athletic Trainer or call us at 603-627-9728 ☎️.
