Manage episode 485658627 series 3395924
Special Episode for Mental Health Awareness Month
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re taking a hard look at one of the most pressing issues in the NFL: brain injuries and mental health in football. Could the shocking idea of playing helmetless football actually reduce concussions and long-term damage like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)?
This thought-provoking video explores how helmets may be contributing to dangerous tackling techniques, and whether removing them could lead to a safer, smarter game. If you’re an NFL fan, care about player safety, or are curious about the connection between brain trauma and mental health, this episode is for you.
🧠 We break down the latest research on concussions, CTE, and the NFL’s evolving safety protocols—through the lens of mental health, awareness, and prevention.
Let’s start the conversation about how to protect players both on and off the field.
