Twenty eight years. That’s how long Jim has been proving that a brain injury doesn’t write your ending.

In 1998, a motorcycle accident left Jim legally blind with a traumatic brain injury. But his story was never about what he lost. “Part of my brain doesn’t accept that I have an injury,” he says. Maybe that’s just Jim refusing to let the hardest thing that happened to him become the only thing about him.

Today, he still plays a mean game of pool, beats his buddies at Crayy Eights, and turns to the Blues when things get heavy.

For 25 years, Mind Forward has been in Jim’s corner. And Jim keeps showing us what it means to live well, not just survive.

Today we had the pleasure of learning from from .ca.

Thank you for sharing the C.U.L.T.U.R.E Framework and teaching us how trauma, racism, stigma, and systemic inequities intersect with ABI recovery.

C is for Communication.

Communication is more than just speaking. It includes understanding, processing, expressing thoughts, reading social cues, and finding the right words at the right time.

After an ABI, communication can change. Someone may struggle to follow conversations, find the words they want to say, respond quickly, or express emotions clearly. These challenges are often invisible but can affect relationships, confidence, and daily life.

With patience, understanding, and the right supports, communication can improve. Giving people time, listening without rushing, and meeting them where they are makes a meaningful difference.

How we communicate matters.

New Year, ReNEW Concussion Transition program!

Thanks to the generous support of TD Bank Group [], we’ve launched a new program designed to support youth navigating life after a concussion.

We’ve seen it far too often...young people trying to keep up with school, sports, work, and growing responsibilities, all while recovering from a brain injury. With TD’s support, ReNEW will provide structured, personal guidance to help youth navigate recovery, rebuild confidence, and move ahead with the right support.

We want to thank everyone who stopped by the booth, shared a smile, and helped make this event a wonderful success.
