When Audrey Morrice walked into the hospital room to visit the critically injured son of a friend, her life changed forever. Determined to prove that there is life after a brain injury, she embarked on a mission that would span three decades and affect many Canadians. With no medical training but a lot of faith and determination, she worked tirelessly helping to found and develop the Association for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured (ARBI). Today, ARBI is an alternative to standard hospital care. The common-sense holistic approach gives hope to many as they recover their memory, cognitive skills and speech, in a caring and supportive program.
