2025 Winter BrainStorm: This presentation is sponsored by the Northern New Jersey Traumatic Brain Injury System and Kessler Foundation.

"Second Chance to Live" is the inspiring story and mission of Craig J. Phillips, a rehabilitation counselor who turned his own traumatic brain injury into a source of hope for others. After surviving a severe accident at 10 years old, Craig faced years of struggles, including being told he was unemployable. Undeterred, he founded SecondChancetoLive.org, a website offering a holistic approach to brain injury recovery that addresses mind, body, spirit, soul, and emotions.

For over 18 years, Craig has created thousands of articles, videos, eBooks, and keynote presentations to empower those living with brain injuries. He’s spoken across the U.S. 143 times and works to inspire both individuals and medical professionals. His message: You are not defined by your injury; recovery is possible.
