My goodness, have we had the BEST  year on social media! And we love doing it too!

Why? 

We enjoy sharing the latest and greatest information and resources with all of you, the entire brain injury community here in Washington State and nationwide. In fact, it’s a passion. Support, education and sharing are the pillars of the BEST mission and vision. 

We also like to celebrate. A lot. Together, we are changing the face of brain injury and that is a big accomplishment! 

We love to share inspiration! From picture quotes to stories of hope and triumph and everything in between, sharing inspiration is one of things we care about most. 

Finally, it’s always good to have a little fun, right? We have the BEST fun and that laughter and those smiles have been contagious!

Hashtags:  Are you familiar with hashtags? If not, they are super cool and a great way to find interesting information and conversation. To put it simply, a hash tag is simply a way for people to search for tweets and posts that have a common topic and to begin a conversation. It has this symbol in front of the word or phrase: # (example: #tbi, #health). Did you know that BEST has dedicated hashtags that we use on our posts and tweets? On EVERY post or tweet, we always use #TBITalk.  Here are some other hashtags we like to use: #superheroesatourBEST #URBEST2016, #5forsuperheroes, #PGEA2015.  Do a search on any one of these on the internet and you will be amazed! Try it!
