The Brain Energy Support Team (BEST) is seeking volunteers to work with occupational therapy students from the University of Puget Sound. The students will come to our BEST Space located in University Place, Washington, to learn more about working with people with brain injuries. For brain injury survivors, this provides a great opportunity to help the students gain understanding about working with people with brain injury and to provide feedback and input. For the students, it provides them with valuable learning experiences in putting together activities for brain injury survivors and more.
Survivors will meet with the students both in group and one-on-one sessions. A supervisor is always present with the students during these sessions.
This special activity will begin Wednesday, August 30, 2017 from 4 p.m. to 4:50 p.m. at our BEST Space located at 2607 Bridgeport Way W, Suite 2G in University Place, Washington. For directions, click here.
