A service charity and educational organization to help those with traumatic brain injuries and other disabilities increase independence in the community and improve their quality of life.
Positive Matters is a non-profit service charity and educational organization dedicated to helping those with traumatic brain injuries and other disabilities increase independence in the community and improve their quality of life. We offer a wide range of services, resources – and above all, hope – for TBI patients, their families, medical professionals, and caregivers.
The organization was founded by Matthew Thomas, a coma and traumatic brain injury survivor who was initially given a 5% of living. After years of defying the odds (and most conventional medical wisdom), he is now a motivational speaker, DUI lecturer, brain injury consultant, wildlife photographer, body boarder, golfer and hydrobike world record holder.
Matt offers a deeply inspiring perspective as someone who has “been there” and is the driving force behind Positive Matters.
“Straight Out of a Coma” – A new short film about an amazing story of loss, recovery and achievement, is now streaming worldwide on TubiTV.
Resources for traumatic brain injury patients, caregivers, and families, including education, presentations, and rehabilitation.
2nd Annual Matthew Thomas Charity Golf Tournament – Newport Beach Golf Course, 2024 (Date TBD)
