' To improve the lives of traumatic brain injury survivors and their support system by offering emotional support as the foundation of our tools to build and grow cognition, fueled by the knowledge and experience earned through personal TBI recovery '
The Light Switch Foundation needs financial help to turn on the lights.
From Wikipedia: A traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as an intracranial injury, is an injury to the brain caused by an external force. TBI can be classified based on severity, mechanism (closed or penetrating head injury) or other features (e.g., occurring in a specific location or over a widespread area). Head injury is a broader category that may involve damage to other structures such as the scalp and skull. TBI can result in physical, cognitive, social, emotional and behavioral symptoms, and outcomes can range from complete recovery to permanent disability or death.
After the head injury, life got harder. We all needed other people to help us make sense of and simplify what was happening!
From cognitive enhancement games to Paddle boarding. From hiking and snow sports to Yoga developed by the "Love Your Brain" community focused on TBI survivors.
Amazing souls helping grow the love of our community! We love and appreciate our volunteers and we would love your help in any way you would like to give!
A wise scholar once said:
The only things that really changes and heals us are the places we go, the people we meet, and the BOOKS we read...
Together we are stronger!. Some of us went many years after our injury before we even met someone else with a brain injury. The joy and camaraderie we have found in each-other can only be described in a feeling of contentment and wholeness you must see and feel for yourselves...We know that if we had effective cognitive support from the beginning we would all be in very different places. We want to lead more fellow survivors to the proverbial Light Switch. The sooner we acknowledge the amazing plasticity of our brain after a TBI; the faster we can turn on and turn up the light....Now we can inspire growth together, for each other, for ourselves, and for the TBI community.
Step into the light.
Feel the warmth
Join us and we can bask in the light and grow together!!
