What You Will Get Through the Learn to Thrive Workshop

Education

You will learn some of the best tools from evidence-based positive psychology to boost your well-being, improve your resilience and help you find more joy during your recovery from concussion. Participants will also have access to:

Practice

Weekly tasks and worksheets to practice and apply the tools and strategies in class and throughout the week. Receive group coaching to help you integrate these strategies and improve your mindset, mood and your day-to-day experience.

Group and Community Support

Have the opportunity to ask questions and get answers. Support from the facilitators as well as a community of people who share in your experience. Feel connected, heard and understood in a safe environment.

Assessment and Reporting

As a part of the program you will receive a pre- and post-program assessment to evaluate the changes in your function, relationships and happiness levels. This report will be provided to you and your rehabilitation team at the end of the program to help you to continue to use the tools you learn from this program.

Facilitators

Lina and Arvinder created this interactive workshop that combines their life experiences in helping people with brain injuries and concussions. As someone who sustained a concussion in 2018 and is still experiencing symptoms, Lina understands first-hand the frustration, challenges and isolation that come with the slow recovery of post-concussion syndrome. Arvinder brings 25 years of knowledge and expertise in working with brain injury survivors from her occupational therapy practice PiOT. PiOT’s experience working with clients, adjusters and lawyers with motor vehicle accidents ensures that this program meets the reporting requirements of medical-legal cases.

"I am amazed at how much I am learning, how much better I am feeling and how much I am enjoying my Learn to Thrive sessions. Pedagogical strategies are fused succinctly with important facts dealing with our brains, our emotions, our relationships and our post concussions. These are all integrated and reinforced with breakout groups, interesting weekly handouts, tasks, and even follow up emails offering interesting articles and video clips to all. I highly recommend the Learn to Thrive program."
