Most survivors of physical I#IPV may suffer a concussion from blows to the face, head, and neck. Learn to recognize and respond by taking the cattonline course for Women's Support Workers at cattonline.com/course/concuss… #concussionbc #concussionawarenessweek #concussioned

See this post below with course from cattonline! We also worked with SOAR Canada collaborators and our expert panel to develop a supplement to the #PedsConcussion guideline that helps guide medical professionals supporting adolescent patients after an IPV-related concussion.

Up to 92% of women who suffer from severe physical violence may also experience a brain injury. Visit injuryresearch.bc.ca/injury-priorit… #concussionbc #concussionweekbc BC Children's Hospital BC Children's Hospital Research Institute
