.Our Mission: Educate
|
Of 337 parents
with children in contact sports, only 33% say they are "somewhat or very familiar with CTE." 81.7% have not received educational materials on CTE. 54% believe coaches are "preferred providers" for info. about CTE. |
.Our Mission: Outreach
|
If we want to protect students from the debilitating consequences of recurrent brain trauma, on-campus outreach is needed. |
Teachers, parents & students
deserve to know the facts about collision sports and brain health. |
.Our Mission: Prevention
|
The only way to protect young minds from invisible, irreparable harm is to promote prevention. On-campus outreach
is the most effective way to provide information to the people who need it most. |
|
Offering safer sporting options in our schools will increase the number of students who can participate. 
|
|
|
This is what our public schools should provide -- opportunities for ALL kids where the focus is on academics and injury prevention. |
|
.The Challenge:
|
The very existence of collision sports in schools exerts enormous pressure on students & explicitly endorses physical violence as entertainment. Schools should say NO to the: BLOCK, BODYCHECK, HEADER, TACKLE & YES to Age-Appropriate Sport! |
|
"Waiting for the powers that be to protect our children from powerful industry hasn't worked out so well in the past." |
|
|
Your tax-deductible donations will help fund on-campus outreach all across the country. "Not my child, not my problem" means millions of young people will continue to suffer INVISIBLE DAMAGE. Equating the value of any sport
with the well-being of students is indefensible. Safer options exist. Our schools owe a duty of care. Contact your alma mater(s) today. Ask your teachers/professors why they are complicit in this abuse. |

“Amidst the loud, revving engines of medicalization, we need to remain steadfastly focused
on interventions and reforms that will influence and impact the key institutions, social systems
and public policies that are the fundamental drivers of health inequities.”
