⚡ “Concussions don’t just happen on the field — they change lives long after the game ends.”

In this powerful conversation from the Brain Health Conference, hosted by Healthy 2 Connections, Dr. Abigail Bretzin and Dr. Douglas Wiebe unpack the real science behind concussions, brain injury, and CTE — and reveal the gaps in care that too often leave athletes, students, and everyday people struggling in silence.

From high school sports to the Ivy League, their data exposes disparities in concussion reporting, access to care, and long-term outcomes—including how unaddressed brain injuries can impact mental health, addiction risk, and recovery.

💬 “Epidemiology isn’t just about what’s going wrong — it’s about figuring out how to prevent it.” — Dr. Doug Wiebe
💬 “Over 25,000 high school athletes suffered concussions in just eight years — and that’s only the ones we know about.” — Dr. Abby Bretzin

At Sober Not Boring, we’re proud to partner with Healthy 2 Connections to amplify this message: Brain health is recovery health. Whether it’s trauma, substance use, or injury — healing starts when we understand what’s really going on in the brain.
