We host support groups and social events for individuals with brain injuries in the Seattle area, in addition to educational workshops with our professional partners. Our student members are an integral part of the organization, and can get involved in our events as well as our Buddy Program, which pairs a TBI member with an undergraduate student. Our club offers students interested in careers in healthcare, social work, or neuroscience an opportunity to work closely with this under-served community and invaluable experience interacting with this vulnerable population outside of a clinical setting.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>We are so excited to be announce our <b><span style='color:#3D85C6'>"I Love My Brain" spring virtual panel next Sunday, April 17th at 9:00am PST! </span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black;background:#CFE2F3'>The Zoom link for the panel will be: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ilovemybrain" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/ilovemybrain</a> </span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><u>About the panel: </u><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Two of our brain injury members, Cinda Lium and Robert Pezely, will be speaking on their brain injury experiences and sharing their unique stories.
