It's Not Just Sports. Brain Talk Day covers TBI, concussion & CTE through survivor stories, expert speakers, demos & lunch. Limited spots!
About this Event

Join us for the third annual Brain Talk Day, a community event focused on raising awareness about brain health, concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and CTE.

While many people associate brain injuries with sports, the reality is that brain injuries can happen to anyone, from car accidents and falls to military service, domestic violence, and first responders. This year’s theme, “It’s Not Just Sports,” highlights the many ways brain injury impacts everyday lives.

Attendees will hear powerful stories from brain injury survivors, participate in breakout sessions with expert speakers, and learn more about recognizing the signs and symptoms of brain injury and how to seek support if help is needed.

We are also bringing back the concussion simulation goggles and our popular raffle with great prizes. Lunch will be included.

Registration is limited to 70 attendees, ensure to secure your spot early!
Reserve your ticket now and join us for a meaningful day of learning, connection, and community.

This is also the final year of free registration for Brain Talk Day.
