Hope and the Progression of Living our Best Life after Brain Injury Presentation
Creating Hope is about a Process and a Journey, not a Destination.
Creating Focus

“History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking encounters before they triumphed. They won because they refused to be discouraged by their defeats.” B.C. Forbes
Abstract to the Presentation
I believe that an ongoing recovery process needs to involve the whole person. Involve the whole person in their process of creating hope in and through their mind, body, spirit, soul and emotions.
Creating hope is about a process and a journey, not a destination.
Creating hope is about being an actor; rather than a reactor, to and in our lives.
