Brain Enhance and Recovery System (BEARS™)
The Pelly Clinic has teamed up with ABI Wellness to bring The Brain Enhance and Recovery System (BEARS™) cognitive enhancement program to North Vancouver. This program is for individuals with persistent brain issues, it is developed to strengthen the neural connections in your head to improve your higher-order cognitive and behavioural functions. The BEARS™ Program is now available at our Upper Lonsdale location. Build increased capacity building through neuroplastic programming through 3 options:
IN-CLINIC PROGRAM
VIRTUAL PLUS PROGRAM
VIRTUAL ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
ABI Wellness offers a transformative, evidence-based licensing solution for patients with chronic brain injury to improve higher-order cognitive functioning. The interdisciplinary model delivers a cognitive intervention system that improves patients’ quality of life and return-to-work possibilities.
REVOLUTIONIZING THE BRAINS RECOVERY PROCESS
77% RETURN TO WORK RATE AFTER PROGRAM
Do you have persistent or chronic memory problems? Have difficulty with mental focus, multitasking, or organizing and planning your thoughts? Do brain stressors make you more emotional, fatigued, make social situations difficult, or lead you to feel more anxious or depressed?
It’s not too late to start. It may have been years since your acquired a brain injury. There’s still hope for recovering more cognitive function and improving your quality of life.

the four pillars of BEARS™
The BEARS™ program is designed for higher functioning people with persistent cognitive difficulties from acquired brain injuries (ABIs), concussions, changing senior’s health, hypoxia, and post medical treatments such as chemotherapy. This 4-pillar program is composed of aerobic exercise, computer-based training, mindfulness and health tracking developed to optimize your brain’s neural organization of information making your processing more efficient.
COGNITIVE TRAINING
Helps restore patient’s working memory, processing speed, attention and reasoning
CARDIO PROGRAM
Prepares the brain for more effective cognitive training through programmatic aerobic exercise
MINDFULNESS CURRICULUM
Decreases pain intensity and increase energy levels through regimented meditation excercises
PROGRESS TRACKING
Automated digital tools deliver up-to-the-minute client activity and progress tracking
how does BEARS™ work?
The Brain Enhance and Recovery System (BEARS™) optimizes the production and health of new nerve cells as it strengthens the brain’s neural networks (nerve highways that organize information), increasing its capacity for higher executive functions rather than relying on compensation strategies.
lasting functional improvements include:
- improved mental focus & clarity
- emotional regulation
- better memory
- improved mental health (anxiety and depression scores significantly improved after completion of program)
- more efficient organization of thoughts
- decreased environmental sensitivity (light and sound)
- improved tolerance for social situations
- reduced age related cognitive decline
- sport enhancement
- improved fluid intelligence (ability to think logically and solve problems)
- increased rate of learning and retention
- enhanced self-awareness
The program’s results to date:
- 77% of individuals have returned to work after discharge from the ABI Wellness program
- measurable quality of life improvements across patients
- measured cognitive improvements through independent University research studies
ABI RESEARCH
> Impact of ABIW system platform on return to work outcomes in ABI
Upon completing the ABI Wellness program, individuals report a 77% return to work rate.
Changes in brain-behavior relationships following a 3-month pilot cognitive intervention program for adults with traumatic brain injury.
> Evidence for increased Quality of Life in Individuals with Brain injury
Change is possible, and by focusing on interdisciplinary rehabilitation with a focus on neuroplasticity, all individuals can improve their cognitive capacity and improve their quality of life.
Changes in brain network organization and brain-behaviour relationships following a 3-month intervention program for individuals with chronic TBI.
This pilot study suggesting that chronic TBI individuals can benefit from targeted intervention.
