As part of its Community Education outreach, Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 will host a second Concussion Awareness Seminar focusing on the symptoms and treatment of concussions at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 7, in the auditorium of Schaumburg High School, 1100 W. Schaumburg Road in Schaumburg.

Dr. Erik Beltran, a neurologist from the North Shore University Health System, will share information on current research regarding concussions and best practices for the treatment of adolescents following a concussion.

Those in attendance also will receive information regarding District 211's post-concussion "Return-to-Learn" (RTL) and "Return-to-Play" (RTP) protocols.

While most concussions may not be life-threatening, they should all be treated seriously.
