Every milestone deserves to be celebrated. 🧠

We recently celebrated our client, Larry, as he completed his rehabilitation program at ARBI.

To recognize this moment, our staff and Larry's family shared what they admire most about him and the journey they've witnessed. From determination to kindness, their messages are a reminder that rehabilitation is about so much more than recovery. It's about the people beside you every step of the way.

Thank you to Larry and his family for allowing us to be part of their journey. Congratulations on this incredible milestone. 💜

Rehabilitation is better together. 🧠💪

At ARBI, our Rehab Group Session brings participants together for physical and cognitive programming that supports recovery, skill-building and connection.

Our physical group focuses on movement, strength, coordination, and function. Our new social cognitive group, launched this July, focuses on skills like memory, attention, problem solving, and communication. During each 1.5 hour session, participants spend time in both groups, supporting recovery through a balanced approach to physical and cognitive rehabilitation. 💚

Help us continue providing programs that support recovery and community by donating today at https://www.arbi.ca/donate ✨

July Recap: ARBI's Stampede Breakfast 🤠

As July comes to a close, we're looking back on one of our favourite mornings of the summer: our annual Stampede Breakfast! 🥞

It was wonderful to bring clients, families, volunteers, staff, sponsors, and community members together over pancakes, live entertainment, conversations, and plenty of smiles.✨

ARBI’s mission to support individuals and families affected by acquired brain injuries wouldn’t be possible without this incredible community. Thank you to everyone who helped make our Stampede Breakfast a success! 💙

A special thank you to Nomadic Studio Photography for beautifully capturing the spirit of the morning. 📷⭐

We can't wait to do it all again next year! Until then, stay connected through our website (https://www.arbi.ca/) so you don't miss out on our next community event! 🧠

Marilou is a marketing coordinator here at ARBI who suffered a brain injury in 2023 who is sharing her experience with her disability today in honor of Disability Independence Day! 💜

On this Disability Independence Day, I’m reflecting on what independence truly means to me.

Disability independence is not about doing everything alone. It is about having the support, accessibility, and opportunities that allow me to pursue my goals, contribute, and live life as my authentic self. ✨

After suffering a brain injury, I had to relearn how to do many things I once took for granted. I had moments where I thought my life was over, and I heard people tell me what they thought I could and couldn’t do. But the truth was, I was still me.

My body and abilities changed, but my passion, determination, and drive remained. My disability is a part of me, but it does not define all of me. My needs and goals may look different, but I am still the same person who wants to learn, grow, and make an impact.

As a working disabled person, disability independence means having the opportunity and support to be part of my community and workplace. Because of that, I am able to work at ARBI, continue building my future, and show that disability does not limit what we can achieve. 🧠

This Disability Independence Day, I celebrate the ability to define my own path and be proud of everything I can do. 💚

Today, on International Self-Care Day, we're reflecting on the importance of caregiver support. 🫂

This photo was taken during our most recent Caregiver Support Group Potluck, where caregivers came together to connect, enjoy each other's company, and support one another. 💜

Caring for a loved one affected by acquired brain injury can be both rewarding and challenging. That's why it's so important for caregivers to prioritize their own well-being, build meaningful connections, and know they're not alone.

A special thank you to the Petro-Canada CareMakers Foundation (Petro-Canada). Their generous support allows ARBI to continue bringing our community together and ensuring individuals have access to the resources, connections, and support they deserve.
