About Us
“OR Community” for People with Brain Injuries & Their Families Ltd (NPO), is a nonprofit dedicated to reintegrating those with brain injuries into family, social, and work spheres.
Founded and led by individuals who have either experienced brain injuries or supported affected family members, we leverage personal insights to address these challenges effectively.
What We Do
At OR Community, we build a strong, supportive network for people with brain injuries. Through our initiatives, we ensure that no one feels alone, ashamed, or isolated because of their injury.
Community & Social Support:
We organize regular meetups to foster
self-confidence and connection among members.
Awareness & Advocacy:
We actively work to raise public awareness about brain injuries and push for better medical and social services.
Mentorship & Personal Growth:
Our mentoring programs and personal development initiatives empower individuals to rebuild their lives with purpose.
Family Support:
We provide emotional guidance and critical resources for family caregivers, whose role is essential in the recovery journey.
I know firsthand how hard it is to return to 'normal life' after a brain injury—the frustration, the loneliness, the feeling of being misunderstood.
That’s why I founded OR Community: to create a place where people like me can find support, connection, and a sense of belonging
