“Without the ARBI centre, our mom would not have the function, strength, and hope she has today.” – Team Julie Tham 💜

This powerful message speaks to the heart of why we ride in Cycle for Survivors. ARBI’s rehabilitation programs restore independence, dignity, and quality of life for people living with brain injury — and families like Julie’s are proof of the impact.

🚴On September 27, Team Julie Tham will cycle to raise funds so more survivors can access the support they need. Join them in fueling hope and recovery: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/team/team-julie-tham-stroke-survivor

Meet Ted. 💜

After a serious accident left him with a brain injury, Ted faced challenges most of us can hardly imagine. But with hours of hard work, endless determination, and support from ARBI’s programs, Ted is proving what’s possible.

Today, he’s training to ride in Cycle for Survivors on September 27 — and he’s doing it to inspire hope for others living with brain injury.

For nearly 50 years, ARBI has been there for people like Ted and their families, helping them rebuild their lives through rehabilitation, wellness, and connection.

📺 Ted even shared his journey on Global News — a true reminder to never give up. Watch here: https://globalnews.ca/video/11434628/learn-more-about-the-arbi-cycle-for-survivors/

"Not very many people know what it's like to have a brain injury or stroke." - Sarah Vanderveen 🙌

At Living with Hope After Brain Injury - The Role of Community, ARBI's registered psychologist shared an important truth: Unless you've lived it or loved someone who has, it's hard to understand what stroke or brain injury recovery really looks like - or that a place like ARBI exists to walk that road with you. 💜

This video is a powerful invitation to learn, understand, and stand alongside those on the journey. 🧠

Caring for yourself is caring for them. 💜

When a loved one suffers a brain injury or stroke, it can change life for the entire family. ARBI’s Caregiver Support Group is here to give unpaid caregivers a space to connect, share experiences, and focus on their own health and well-being - because avoiding burnout is essential to providing the best care possible.

📍 Where: ARBI - 311 Cedar Crescent SW, Calgary, AB
🗓 When: Third Thursday of each month, 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. (September 18th)
💌 Register: wellness@arbi.ca

There’s no fee to attend, and you can join as many sessions as you wish. This group is exclusively for caregivers - loved ones who have experienced a brain injury should not attend.
