Our Mission

Support traumatic brain injury recovery, including concussion through education, empowerment, and social connection.

Keep Your Head Up Founders- Felicia and Allie

Interested in collaborating? Let's connect!

The Keep Your Head Up Foundation is a Registered Canadian Charity located in Waterloo, Ontario (2020). The organization was founded by two young women who live with the effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Allie and Felicia combined their personal experiences navigating their recoveries with their public health backgrounds, to provide community-based education and support for individuals impacted by TBI, including concussions.

Our vision is a world where individuals affected by brain injuries feel supported, connected, and empowered so that they are able to build the resilience to help them navigate their recovery journeys.

“My patient did your programming the other day. She is pretty sensitive, so she paced it, but she really enjoyed it and was super happy when I spoke with them about it.”
