At Restart Inc, we believe in amplifying the voices of individuals with brain injuries and disabilities. Advocacy is about more than awareness, it's about action. It means fighting for accessible healthcare, inclusive education, employment opportunities, and policies that protect the rights and dignity of all individuals.

Why Advocacy Matters
Many people with brain injuries face barriers in everyday life, from securing proper medical care to finding employment that accommodates their needs. By advocating for change, we can:

• Ensure equal access to healthcare, rehabilitation, and mental health services.
• Push for inclusive policies in schools and workplaces.
• Educate communities to reduce stigma and promote understanding.
• Empower individuals with disabilities to lead independent, fulfilling lives.
