Virtual Connections: Enhancing Life After Brain Injury with Rehab Without Walls

Don’t let transportation stop you! you ever feel isolated? Post brain injury, many struggle with loneliness, often due to life changes, especially a lack of transportation. So what do we do? We get together online, and make new friends.

Our guest is Veronica Corrin, OT, with Rehab Without Walls, an at home and in community neuro-based rehab. She started the Brain Injury Virtual Connect (BIVC), a weekly Wednesday group meeting, four years ago, which has now grown to include a Friday Coffee Chat and a Saturday survivor led Peer Party Chat.

The weekly BIVC meetings cover a wide range of topics, from a group round table, where members get to ask a question to the group and everyone gets to respond, to playing games, like Family Feud, to focused discussions, like how to survive the holidays with a brain injury. It’s like a variety show: a little something for everyone. They also offer two in-person events per year, one in Houston and one in DFW, but are looking at adding more cities soon.

We all need a place to connect, where people are looking forward to seeing you, who miss you when you're gone. Virtual connecting also makes in person connecting easier. Take the first step.
