A Student-Focused Partner Approach To Concussion Management

The CMP Student-Athlete Concussion Management Program is a true partner approach to concussion management. Everyone involved with the student-athlete has an important role to play. Coaches, parents/guardians, classroom teachers, the CMP professional team of Robert Kirwan,  Dr. Czarnota (Consulting Neuropsychologist), the school principal, the family doctor, and yes, the student-athlete him/herself all have specific roles and responsibilities that are designed to assist in the entire identification and rehabilitation process. The Student-Athlete Concussion Management Program begins with education and training, not only for the adults involved with school sports, but also for the student-athletes and their parent/guardians who will play a critical role in this effort. Once a student-athlete suffers an unfortunate brain injury, all of the partners step up to make the necessary accommodations and adjustments which will ensure the well-being of the student-athlete and help him/her on the road to recovery.

A Better Future For Student-Athletes

"Our vision is to become recognized as one of the world's foremost resources on student-athlete concussion management.  
 
Our mission is to provide secondary schools
and minor sports organizations in Canada and the United States with a Concussion Management Program that includes the establishment of consistent standards in the areas of training & certification of coaches and student-athletes, as well as effective protocols for sport-related concussion identification and rehabilitation."

CMP PARTNERS IN ACTION

CMP Concussion Management Partners Inc. was founded in order to address the critical need for a practical, effective, coordinated approach in dealing with sport-related injuries that result in brain trauma concussions among student-athletes. 

The CMP Student-Athlete Concussion Management Program is a partnership approach to concussion management that will enable student-athletes to enjoy the positive benefits of participating in their favourite sports activities while at the same time knowing that if they happen to suffer an unfortunate injury to their brain, there is a protocol in place which will  manage their injury in the most complete manner possible to promote the greatest level of recovery.

"I'm almost obsessed with doing everything I can to reduce the risk of devastating consequences to student-athletes because of sport-related concussions. While we won't be able to eliminate these types of injury, through the adoption of a partner approach to concussion management, I am confident that coaches, parents and athletes will be able to identify brain injuries when they first happen and then take the proper steps to implement a more effective rehabilitation program."
