The resolution designates September 19, 2025 as **National Concussion Awareness Day** and recognizes mild traumatic brain injury, or concussion, as an important health concern. It cites CDC findings that an estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million sports-related concussions happen each year, about 283,000 children visit emergency departments annually for sports- or recreation-related head injuries, and roughly 15 percent of high school students reported a sports- or recreation-related concussion in the past year, and it urges awareness, better diagnosis, return-to-play and return-to-learn protocols, and more research to reduce long-term harm.
