A painting of Thanks! Each individual will receive a small 8×10 canvas to paint.
Each attendee will be guided through painting a fall/sunflower art scene and then we will paint “Thankful” (artfully).
Printed text for people to transfer onto their canvas will be included.
Each individual will get a chance to write three things they are grateful for that have happened to them in the past year. This will serve as a reminder of their progress and help them set new goals and accomplishments.
We will also share our stories throughout the painting process.

Do At Home Activities

It’s essential to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate in and enjoy these activities. Let’s also explore some creative craft ideas that can be engaging for adults with brain injuries that you can do at home.

Unmasking Brain Injury Program
(At Home Idea) DIY Stress Ball:
- Stress balls are excellent for relieving anxiety and improving agility. Here’s how to make one:
  - You’ll need a small balloon, 1 cup of cornstarch, a funnel, and optionally, a permanent marker.
  - Partially inflate the balloon (about 5 inches round) and pinch it to prevent air escape.
  - Use a funnel to fill the balloon with cornstarch powder.
  - Tie the balloon and cut off the mouth.
  - Squeeze out the excess air to ensure it contains only cornstarch
(At Home Idea) Pinecone Bird Feeders:
- These feeders are not only fun to create but also attract wild birds. Here’s how:
  - You will need a pinecone, peanut butter, birdseed, and string/ribbon.
  - Cover a pinecone with peanut butter, pressing it into the crevices.
  - Roll the peanut-butter-laden pinecone in birdseed.
  - Tie the string or ribbon to the top and hang it outside on a tree for the birds to enjoy
