Connection is an important part of recovery.

Thanks to a generous Grow grant from Ontario Trillium Foundation, Mind Forward is creating more opportunities for people with ABI to connect, participate, and feel a sense of belonging.

In the project’s first year, 500 people have directly benefitted from expanded community based rehabilitation and inclusive opportunity in arts, wellness, recreation, and education.

☀️ 🍉 Another summer picnic is in the books! We wrapped up the season with our biggest turnout to date at the beautiful Mississauga Valley Park.

Thank you to everyone who attended and who helped make this year’s event such a success. We enjoyed the entertainment from Ron Martin, Red Nose Remedy, and Henna Artist | Toronto & Beyond as well as our Ukulele group and dancing with DJ Adam!

The impact of a brain injury can make returning to work incredibly challenging. Changes in memory, concentration, energy, and confidence may create barriers that others cannot see.

Through our VISTA program, Mind Forward provides individualized vocational support, helping people with ABI build skills, identify their strengths and explore employment or volunteer opportunities.

With the right support, new possibilities can take shape.

Meet Nick.

He loves boxing, Rocky, music, movies, and a good Tim Hortons coffee. 🥊 🎶 🍿 ☕️

After sustaining an ABI when he was 15, Nick has kept working towards the life he wants. His progress has taken time, patience, and real determination.

Today, he is building independence at Williams House, writing rap lyrics, staying active, and reminding others that it’s important to keep getting back up.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Journeys of Hope and Resilience presentation where we heard honest stories about living with an acquired brain injury. Stories of setbacks, determination, laughter, frustration, growth, and finding a way forward, even when the path looked nothing like what was planned.

There wasn’t one version of recovery in that room. Every journey was different and that’s exactly the point.

To the individuals who shared such personal parts of their lives…thank you. Your openness gave others something many people don’t realize they’re looking for: understanding, connection, and the reminder that they aren’t facing this alone.

Brain Injury Awareness Month may be coming to an end, but these conversations matter every month of the year. We’ll keep listening, learning, and working toward a community where every person living with an ABI feels seen, supported, and understood.

Many people living with an ABI face legal issues related to disability benefits, employment, housing, insurance, and decision making, and finding the right support isn’t easy.

We’re proud to share that Mind Forward has received a Responsive Grant from The Law Foundation of Ontario to better understand the legal needs of our clients.

Over the next year, we’ll work alongside the individuals we support, their caregivers, legal professionals, and community partners to identify the gaps, strengthen partnerships, and help shape future solutions.

This is an important first step toward improving access to legal information and support for the ABI community and we hope it opens the door to even more opportunities in the future.
