Public safety is often talked about as a top priority, but the health and well-being of those who keep us safe are sometimes overlooked. Dr. Jaclyn Caccese is shining a light on the hidden effects of concussions in law enforcement officers. These invisible injuries can have a big impact on their lives and how well they do their jobs. She’s calling for a change—one that focuses on protecting the minds of those who protect us, with better care and proactive steps to tackle these silent challenges. Dr. Jaclyn B. Caccese is an Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and a member of Ohio State’s Chronic Brain Injury program. She is a leading expert in concussion research, with a unique focus on law enforcement officers. She led the development of the nation’s first return-to-duty protocol for law enforcement officers with concussions, advancing recovery and safety in this high-risk profession. In her TEDx talk, Dr. Caccese will share insights into concussion recovery challenges for law enforcement and the importance of specialized, evidence-based protocols for their safe return to duty. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
