StopConcussions
StopConcussions, the Canadian/American Spinal Research Organization and our Shoot For A Cure Campaign are pleased to add our new initiative on mental health – CONNECTED. We will begin to educate everyone on mental health. We will try to put to rest the myths of mental health.
Shoot for a Cure
To date, no “standard of practice” is consistently applied to prevent serious injury in sports. It is our goal to change this, as increased awareness and prevention instruction is a must – especially in athletics that have a higher frequency of serious injury. For several reasons we have included our Mental Health Initiative and Mental Training. StopConcussions is a not for profit organization in Ontario and are unable to provide tax receipts for income tax purposes.
