New online course to help student-athletes better manage concussions

University student-athletes will be able to return to sports more safely with the launch of a new training course on concussion management.

The Concussion Awareness Training Tool was created with a focus on varsity-level athletes in collaboration with U Sports, the national governing body of university sport in Canada, which represents 56 universities, including Windsor Lancers.

The free course provides detailed information on concussion recognition, reporting, and management. Modules include:

  • the signs and symptoms of concussion,
  • navigating the reporting process,
  • advice on medication,
  • supporting a teammate who has experienced a concussion,
  • addressing mental health challenges, and
  • managing a successful return to school and sport.

Current and former student athletes across Canada provided input, including personal stories from athletes who have experienced a concussion. Learn more on the U Sports website.
