Where lived experience, education, and purpose become guidance for others.
Meet the Founders
Adel Shadi & Sarah Shadi, PhD
A father–daughter team of survivors combining lived experience, caregiving insight, and professional expertise in clinical psychology, neurorehabilitation, and social isolation.
Adel Shadi is a traumatic brain injury survivor whose journey evolved into decades of caregiving, mentorship, and adaptive sports. Sarah Shadi, PhD, is an acquired brain injury survivor whose academic work focused on clinical psychology, neurorehabilitation, and the emotional impact of social isolation after brain injury.
Together, they transformed personal experience into a mission to help survivors, caregivers, and communities rediscover connection, healing, and hope.
