CONNECT Parksville Orientation 🌿 Last week, we held our first orientation for CONNECT Parksville! 🎉 It was wonderful to have our leaders come together as we prepare the Parksville team to welcome the first person we’ll support this October. The day was filled with moments of reflection, learning, connection, and plenty of laughter as we get ready for this exciting next chapter. We’re looking forward to opening our doors and growing the CONNECT Parksville community! 🧡 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eY_r9rrg #CONNECTCommunities #Parksville #BrainInjuryRehabilitation #Community #TeamCONNECT

We’re getting ready to open our doors in Parksville this month! 🧡 After months of planning and preparation, CONNECT Parksville is almost ready to welcome the first people we will support. Our new space has been thoughtfully designed to create a warm, welcoming environment where people can feel at home while working toward their rehabilitation goals and greater independence. With the finishing touches underway, we’re excited to see this new community come to life and to begin supporting people and families in Parksville and across Vancouver Island. Four members of the Snaw-Naw-As First Nation joined us on Friday for a special ceremony to bless our Parksville location. We are ready to welcome the first person to move in tomorrow! We can’t wait to welcome you to CONNECT Parksville! 🌿 #CONNECTCommunities #Parksville #VancouverIsland #BrainInjuryRehabilitation #Rehabilitation #Community #ComingSoon

A sweet way to celebrate the end of summer at CONNECT Hamilton!🍑 Last week, the people we support and coaches came together for our first Peach Fest, a joyful afternoon filled with delicious food, creativity, and connection. Each home prepared its own peach-inspired dish, bringing something special to share with the wider community. From creating decorations and preparing dishes together to gathering around the table, the afternoon was filled with laughter, conversation, and meaningful moments. Events like Peach Fest are about more than great food. They create opportunities for participation, foster connections, and strengthen the sense of belonging that makes our community so special. Thank you to everyone who helped make our first Peach Fest such a memorable one. #CONNECTCommunities #CONNECTHamilton #Community #AcquiredBrainInjury #LifeRedesign #LifeAtCONNECT

Renee’s story is a reminder of what recovery can look like when people are given the opportunity, support, and environment to rebuild their lives. At CONNECT Communities, we believe life after brain injury or stroke is about more than rehabilitation. It’s about leaning into interdependence, rebuilding confidence, and reconnecting with the things that make life meaningful. In this video, Renee shares her experience in her own words. Her story is one of resilience, progress, and the power of believing that there can be more. Thank you, Renee, for sharing your story with us. 💙 #CONNECTCommunities #BrainInjuryRecovery #StrokeRecovery #LifeRedesign #Neurorehabilitation #BrainInjuryAwareness
