OUR INCREDIBLE MIND

ABOUT

Our Incredible Mind (OIM), a former 510(c)(3) non-profit from September 14, 2014 to December 31, 2021, is the brain-injured community's access to:

  • Fellowship & Meetings
  • Activities & Resources
With more than a century of combined experience, the OIM vision is to help improve the quality of life for those in the brain-injured community by sharing our experience, strength, and hope with one another.

OIM is similar to what Alcoholics Anonymous was in the 1930s and still is today. There are traumatic brain injured individuals (TBI) and acquired brain injured individuals (ABI) that have found a way to accept, improve or recover from their injuries, however some struggle and some ultimately do not. We want to shine a light and give hope to those who want it.

Sharon has inspired all of us at OIM

Sharon, second from right came back to us! Hospice came to her home... she said thanks but no thanks... and with renewed vision, purpose, faith, and gratitude she is back among us! She plans on seeing her grandson graduate from high school years from now! You are an inspiration Sharon!
