Cooperations

In 2016 they partnered with Spillerforeningen, Håndboldspillerforeningen and Danske Elitesportsudøveres Forening to help elite athletes suffering from concussion.[3]

In 2017 they partnered with Danmarks Ishockey Union and Dansk Håndbold Forbund, in an effort to reduced the concussion injuries in Danish ice hockey and team handball.[4][5] This partnership was criticised by the players organizations for being to shallow.[6]

In the media

The organization is frequently used in the Danish media, in concussion-related topics, and has been featured in the written press extensively,[7][2][8][9] as well as in television-media.[5][10] Topics range from helping the patients,[9][8] helping next of kin,[7] affecting the politicians,[10] and engaging in concussions in sport.[5]
