Mindful Moments Testimonials
-
"Participating in the Mindful Moments is something that I look forward to each time I register. The watercolour gift card Mindful Moment was new to me, and I enjoyed making something that I was able to share with others. Participating in these sessions normalizes my symptoms and behaviours and the sessions accommodate the eye and mind breaks that I need but there is no requirement to engage in the meditations. Thank you again for providing a service that is lacking in our community."
-
“Thank you for exploring and continuing to push the margins on the kind of activities that you offer to our community online. KYHU provides people living with a brain injury opportunities that we cannot always have in our "offline lives".
-
"I found the mindful yoga to be extremely relaxing and helped ease muscle tension I didn’t even know I had. I found it very easy to follow along and didn’t have to look at the video often, as the verbal instructions were very clear. I also appreciated the modifications that were offered."
-
“I wanted to thank you for such an eye-opening Mindful Moments session. It validated my symptoms, and I realized how debilitating a concussion and post-concussion syndrome could be. The Journaling Meditation was a great experience and made me feel a little less alone.”
-
"My first session with Keep Your Head Up in almost a year. Just as helpful and relaxing as I remembered. Switched my work schedule around to be able to attend these sessions again because I felt I needed more brain injury community in my life."
-
"There were no expectations, no must produce. Instead it was just 'go with the flow''. No right, wrong. No rushing, breaks were taken. I came away feeling relaxed. Which takes a bit! I was happy to hear that I could sign up again in the coming months."
Community Education Testimonials

"Thank you so much for coming to speak to our Intermediate students, sharing your own stories and giving them so much valuable information to think about. You are doing important work, and your presentation was a great addition to our Health programs!”
-
“I love how different your education program is. It's great for the students to learn how they can support someone that’s in concussion recovery.”
-
“Keep Your Head Up’s visit was incredibly valuable for our class. Allie and Felicia discussed the impact concussions have on well-being in a way that was easy to understand and kept the students engaged.”
-
"Being a part of the foundation is giving me a sense of belonging I haven’t felt since my brain injury"
“I just wanted to thank you both, your foundation has helped me realize that I am not alone.”
-
“One of the most difficult things is to find a community and proper resources. I would have loved to come across your foundation during my recovery.”
“So glad I found your foundation. There is not much info about brain injury for those around us, only for us during our recovery really! So thank you.”
