CTE Hope Resource Documents
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative brain disease found in athletes participating in high-contact sports, military veterans, domestic abuse victims, and others with a history of repetitive brain trauma. We have created many resource documents that may be helpful in understanding the effects of CTE. Click each link below to view the resource document.
