Concussed Athletes
The VDH Injury and Violence Prevention Program, in partnership with George Mason University established the Virginia Concussion Initiative (VCI) 
in 2020, bringing together a team of concussion experts to optimize the well-being of every child with a concussion through collaborative networks, tailored guidance, and practical resources.
VCI aims to support the implementation of concussion best practices across home, school, and community settings to protect and support the young minds of Virginia.
Whether you want to learn about reducing concussion risk, helping a child recover from a concussion, or improving your concussion program, VCI has a library of resources. To learn more, visit here: https://concussion.gmu.edu/.
