Talk from Rebecca Schmidt-Lachlan
đ Chick with the Stick - Reinventing Yourself After Brain Injury đ
We're excited to announce an inspiring talk at the Mentor Mates offices on Friday, February 28, at 11:00 am, featuring Rebecca Schmidt-Lachlan, a true advocate for diversity and inclusion. đ
Rebecca's personal story is nothing short of remarkable. After suffering a massive Brain Stem Stroke at the age of 26, she reinvented herself and became a leader in advocacy and self-empowerment. Through her experiences, she has learned invaluable lessons about resilience, overcoming challenges, and choosing the adventure that life offers after a brain injury. đŞ
