Progress doesn’t always make noise. 💙

Sometimes progress looks like taking a break, setting a boundary, asking for support, or simply getting through a difficult day.

Progress may be quiet, but it still counts. 🌱

Here's a quick recap of Keep Your Head Up Foundation at the Ontario Summer Games hosted in the Waterloo Region this past weekend!

Many joined us on opening day at Fan Fest where young athletes, coaches, their family, friends and even spectators had the opportunity to learn what KYHU provides in terms of resources to our local and national community of people with traumatic brain injuries including concussions.

Day 2 & 3, KYHU led a Recovery Yoga Workshop for young athletes and coaches after a day of physical competition located across the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University.

Thank you to Explore Waterloo Region Sport Hosting for providing KYHU a chance to participate in this community event & Ontario Brain Institute | Institut ontarien du cerveau for joining us at our information booth!

☀️ Spending time outdoors can support mood, sleep, and vitamin D levels—but for some people living with a brain injury, bright sunlight may also increase light sensitivity, headaches, or fatigue. Recovery is about finding what works for you. Start with short periods outside, increase exposure gradually, and always listen to your body. 💙🌿

Gentle Summer Movement Ideas ☀️🌿

Movement doesn’t have to be intense to support your well-being. Gentle, enjoyable activities can help boost your mood, improve circulation, and support recovery—while respecting your body’s limits.

🌼 Stretch outside
🚶 Take a short walk
🏊 Swim during quieter times
🧘 Practice yoga in the park
🌱 Spend time gardening
🤸 Try light mobility exercises

Remember: go at your own pace, take breaks when needed, and listen to your body. 💙

What are your favourite ways to stay active during the summer? Let us know below! ☀️
