A Letter from Our Founder

Hi everyone!

If you’ve been following us for awhile, you know The Brain Possible was created to inspire and empower parents, caregivers, and practitioners who care for children with brain injuries. It is a project of The Who Is Carter Foundation, which was founded by my husband Matthew and me in 2017 to change the conversation around childhood brain injury from one of limitations to one of hope.

Elizabeth, Carter, and Emily Abbott

 Our son’s Carter’s illness forced us to step into larger versions of ourselves. It is our wish that The Brain Possible helps you find the resources, information, and networks to be a better leader in your family’s treatment journey.

Since you know my family's story, I would love to hear yours! I truly believe each and every one of you are so inspiring. If you are open to it, I'd be so excited to read and hopefully feature your story and/or family’s treatment journey on our website. It is my hope that hearing your story will motivate and inspire others who are just starting out with their own journeys and have begun following The Brain Possible.   

If you are not sure where to begin, here are some ideas you could share with me:

  1. What was your biggest limitation prior to following The Brain Possible?

  2. How did that limitation make you feel?

  3. What changed after following The Brain Possible?

  4. What specific results or success in your journey can you share?

  5. Is there anything you would support on or would like to learn from us that you have not already?

  6. Anything else to add?

When we support each other, we create a community that fosters hope. I can't wait to share your story. 

Thank you,

Emily ❤️
