We had the honor of welcoming Craig Philips, founder of Second Chance to Live, to share his journey of living with a brain injury and advocating for others. His story spoke to the importance of acceptance, self-advocacy, and resilience.
Notable quotes:
- Shift from “Why me?” to “Why not me?” mindset
- “Don’t be a prisoner of the past, be the architect of the future”
- “Brain injury is like a switch on railroad that points in different direction”
We are grateful for his wisdom and inspiration!! 💙

We are so excited to host our first cohort of summer interns! Our interns have been in the works of develop meaningful projects related to brain injury awareness and advocacy, from social media to educational resources to be distributed to patients. Through these 7 weeks, they have also had the opportunity to sit in on our peer support group meetings and engage in our outreach initiatives. We can’t wait to showcase the initiatives they come up with! 🧠
