Season 8, Episode 14
Welcome to Talking FACS with host Mindy McCulley from the University of Kentucky Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Program. In this episode, Extension Specialist Katherine Jury explains what concussions are, how they occur, and why even seemingly minor bumps can matter.
Discussion topics include:

who is most susceptible (with emphasis on children and teens)
common signs and symptoms to watch for
practical prevention tips (helmets, appropriate equipment, and emerging protective gear), and
clear guidance on what to do if you suspect a concussion

The episode also covers concussion recovery: when to seek medical care, steps to support healing (rest, reduced screen time and cognitive load, school accommodations, and gradual return to activity), and the importance of taking head injuries seriously to avoid long-term effects.
