Are you up for the challenge?
icare Foundation have partnered with CPA to deliver an innovative framework of programs for people aged 18–35 years living with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Engage in projects with purpose and benefit from structured social support, all tailored to your interests, aims and needs. The programs have been designed with input from other young people with TBI to ensure that they will be both useful and enjoyable.
Create your Challenge!
You’re invited to join us for project-based workshops with 1:1 coaching, as well as social workshops with structured peer support.
The programs can be tailored to your specific interests, strengths, aims and needs, meaning that you get to choose your own adventure. Connect with others while you develop your skills, and have fun in the process!
Challenger is CPA’s integrated framework of programs for young people. Challenger is designed to empower people who have experienced a TBI, so they develop the skills they need to succeed – whatever their next adventure.
