Concussion Research
-
A phenomenological research study conducted by Ryan Sutton for his Master’s Thesis project. This study looked into understanding the lived experience of athletes who have sustained a concussion in sport by seeking to learn about their experiences with stigma, recovery, mental health, hegemonic masculinity and sport culture.
The HeadsupCAN research committee is working towards publishing two open access papers based on this work.

Hello, my name is Clayre. I am 20 years old and I’ve decided to break out of my comfort zone and share my concussion journey publicly through HeadsupCAN to bring more awareness surrounding brain injury. I also hope that my story can help folks dealing with brain injury feel a little less alone.
