New Leisure Activity Program
Introducing Restart's Leisure Activity Program
Here at Restart we are excited to announce we were awarded the Customized Living Quality Improvement Grant! With this grant we have founded a Leisure Activity Program (LAP) for the individuals we serve.
A brain injury truly cuts across all economic, ethnic, age, and gender groups. When a person sustains a brain injury, their life can change in many ways. Personality, behavior, cognition, and memory can be affected. Brain stimulation promotes learning (neuroplasticity), which is the brain's ability to rewire itself and recover. During engaging activities, the brain strengthens its neural pathways so that individuals can enter or return to the workforce that bring fulfillment and a sense of self-worth. At Restart, the individuals we serve gain confidence to interact with others, access to activities, and the ability to make their own choices.
This new LAP has been instrumental in providing more engaging activities for the individuals we serve, and supported us in meeting our mission!
