Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Concussion Services

A Concussion is a traumatic brain injury caused by either a direct blow and/or jolt to the head, face, neck or elsewhere on the body. After a concussion some people lose consciousness or are “knocked out”. You can also have a concussion without being knocked out. You may have no memory of what happened even though others say you were talking and interacting. You could also have a concussion if you felt confused, but you remember what happened.

The resources included on this site reflect those located primarily in the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant (HNHB) LHIN (or the Central South region of Ontario). This is not an all-inclusive list of what might be available however it has been developed by an interdisciplinary group of experts in both the acute care and community based resources that meet the standards of excellence based on best evidence and ONF guidelines.
