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

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.
