Steps to Building a Stronger Brain: Brain Health after Injury
Live Webinar on July 22, 2026, 2:00-3:00 pm ET
Kristine Yaffe, MD
Recovery does not end right after a brain injury. The brain has an ability to adapt and heal over time. With the right support, many people can continue to improve their functioning and quality of life long after the injury. Join the Brain Injury Association of America and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the American Academy of Neurology, and AARP for a webinar for healthcare professionals, as well as people living with brain injury and caregivers. During this webinar, speakers will discuss steps you can use to support brain health and how these approaches can help the brain continue to heal and adapt.

Concussion in Youth Football: What We Know, What We Can Do, and How to Protect Young Athletes
Live Webinar on August 20, 2026, 3:00-4:00 pm ET
Dana Waltzman, PhD and Johna Register-Mihalik, PhD, LAT, ATC, FACSM, FNATA
Concussion is one of the most common injuries in youth football, yet it is often misunderstood, underreported, and inadequately managed. Young athletes’ developing brains may be especially vulnerable to the short- and long-term effects of concussion, making education and prevention critical. In this webinar, hosted by the Brain Injury Association of America and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, in collaboration with experts from Indiana University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, participants will explore the current science of concussion in youth football. Drs. Dana Waltzman and Johna Register-Mihalik will cover risk factors, signs and symptoms, recovery considerations, and evidence-based strategies to reduce injury and support safe return to play and learning. The session will also address the role of parents, coaches, schools, and healthcare providers in creating safer environments for young athletes.

Atypical Concussion Presentations & Treatment Recommendations: Functional Neurological and Somatic Disorders
Live Webinar on September 15, 2026, 3:00-4:00 pm ET
Douglas P. Terry, Ph.D., ABPP-CN
This webinar provides an in-depth overview of atypical presentations following concussion, with a specific focus on somatic symptom disorder (SSD) and functional neurological symptom disorder (FND), and their role in prolonged recovery. The presentation emphasizes the importance of psychological and behavioral factors—such as fear avoidance, symptom catastrophizing, and illness perception—in driving ongoing symptoms and disability. Through clinical examples and research findings, it highlights how SSD and FND can mimic or amplify post-concussion symptoms, outlines key assessment strategies to differentiate these conditions, and presents evidence-informed, multidisciplinary treatment approaches to improve outcomes and reduce chronic impairment.

Understanding Lingering Changes after Concussion
Live Webinar on October 29, 2026, at 3:00-4:00 pm ET
Dr. Rita Lenhardt, DHSc, CCC-SLP, CBIS-AP
Many individuals who sustain a concussion appear physically recovered yet continue to experience subtle cognitive-communication and executive functioning challenges that affect daily life, work, and relationships. This presentation explores the often “invisible” lingering effects of mild traumatic brain injury through a functional speech-language pathology lens. Participants will learn how to recognize persistent post-concussion changes, apply evidence-informed assessment strategies, and implement practical intervention approaches aligned with current best practices and INCOG 2.0 guidelines. Case examples and clinically relevant tools will support the translation of research into real-world practice.
