Traumatic Brain Injury Community Resources

Community Resources were developed by Keep Your Head Up Foundation as a way to provide the traumatic brain injury (TBI) community with helpful materials for individuals in the community affected by their TBI or members supporting someone with a TBI.

For members of the community that are affected by their Traumatic Brain Injury…

Keep Your Head Up has developed community resources to help those going through their traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery journey. The goal of the resource is to provide those with a TBI with helpful activities that were specifically made for someone affected by their TBI.

Created by a Guelph University student in the Creative Arts, Health, and Wellness Program, below are two activities that an individual with a TBI can explore as a method towards their recovery journey.

A “Colour Walk” is an activity where people affected by their TBI are encouraged to go outside and be mindful of their surroundings while hunting for colours while outdoors!
See example below.

Affirmation & Gratitude journaling is an activity where people affected by their TBI are encouraged to reflect and get into a habit of positive thinking at least once a day!
See example below.


For members of the community that supports someone with a Traumatic Brain Injury…

Keep Your Head Up has developed community resources to help those in one's circle of support. The goal of the resource is to help those in one’s circle better understand what can be unhelpful/hurtful and what can be helpful to say during brain injury recovery.

We asked our community to engage with us to better understand their lived experiences with brain injury. The goal was to create a representative community resource that aims to serve as a starting point for those looking to offer support to individual's going through brain injury recovery.
