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.

"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."
