Dansby-Giles, Gloria; Giles, Frank L.; Dansby, Jacqueline; Edwards, Anthony, Jr.; Edwards, J. T.
Online Submission, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Association of African American Studies (Dallas, TX, Feb 12-17, 2018)
Recently, attention has focused on professional athletes with concussions. With the NFL's skepticism regarding concussions, some of their officials have been slow to acknowledge that concussions are linked to problems. (Belson & Schwarz, 2016). However, concussion related injuries in collegiate sports has taken on importance. When a cluster of symptoms occur in a persistent fashion following mild traumatic brain injury, post concussion syndrome can be suspected. This article will seek to define post concussion syndrome, identify symptoms and offer suggestions for counselors and professors in higher education who may come in contact with students with this condition. Counselors and faculty who work with college students who are currently involved in sports activities or may have been involved in the past, may find information about post concussion syndrome useful in providing services to these students.
