Since 1999, Project Genesis has helped survivors of brain injury attain an independent and productive life, and connect with a vibrant support network.
We offer a comprehensive range of in-school, academic, transitional, and community-based services that support special needs and build independence.
Working with employers throughout Connecticut, we help adults with disabilities train for, find, and keep a job in a broad range of industries and positions.
If you want to develop the best in yourself and others, we want to hear more about you. Learn about our workplace culture, benefits, upcoming recruiting events, and current opportunities.
Meet Lori R., one of the incredible individuals we support at Project Genesis.
“My journey began when I acquired my brain injury from a grand mal seizure. I had seizures my whole life, but when I was a kid I had a really bad one. At first I was in regular classes, but then my mom had to move me to special education classes. That was hard because my brother was in regular classes and everyone always told him how smart he was. To cope with those feelings, I turned to music, writing in my diary, and makeup.”
Today, Lori still faces challenges with focus and motivation, but she has built strategies that help her succeed — like keeping a routine, planning outfits ahead of time, and leaning on her Project Genesis staff for support and safety. When she needs a lift, she turns to comedy for a good laugh.
Lori wants others to know:
“It gets easier over time.”
Thank you, Lori, for sharing your journey with such honesty. Your strength and resilience are inspiring. 💙
