The Virtual Tuesday Brainy Bunch (VTBB) is a bi-weekly virtual social group that meets every other Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time Zone). It is a light-hearted social hour and a safe environment for anyone affected by brain injury to come and connect.

We invite survivors and the people in their lives who support them to come and have a social conversation with others who understand living a life post-brain injury.

We are here to listen, understand, and uplift each other while connecting via Zoom. We focus on providing a positive and supportive community for people post-brain injury and the family and friends who support them.

This program is offered virtually, allowing participants to join from anywhere in Oregon, Washington, Texas, Pennsylvania, or beyond.

No matter where you are in your journey, you are welcome in this safe and supportive community.
