A resolution supporting the designation of September 16, 2022, as "National Concussion Awareness Day".

Bill 117 S.Res. 766 is a resolution that supports the designation of September 16, 2022, as "National Concussion Awareness Day." The purpose of this resolution is to raise awareness about the dangers of concussions and the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment.

Concussions are a type of traumatic brain injury that can occur as a result of a blow to the head or body. They are common in sports, particularly contact sports like football, soccer, and hockey.

By designating September 16th as "National Concussion Awareness Day," this resolution aims to educate the public about the signs and symptoms of concussions, as well as the importance of seeking medical attention if a concussion is suspected. It also encourages schools, sports organizations, and healthcare providers to implement protocols for preventing and managing concussions. Overall, Bill 117 S.Res. 766 is a bipartisan effort to promote awareness and education about concussions, with the goal of reducing the incidence of these injuries and improving outcomes for those who experience them.
