Kingswood Talks: “Protecting Young Minds – Concussion & Brain Health”

Our Kingswood Talks series returns on Tuesday 26 August, 7.00 pm (AEST) with a timely online session exploring concussion and brain health in school-aged children and adolescents.

Whether your child plays contact sport, enjoys weekend bike rides or simply loves an active lifestyle, understanding how to recognise, manage and prevent concussion is essential. Join us via Microsoft Teams for an engaging presentation and Q&A with internationally respected concussion specialist Dr David Munro.
