Brain Injury in the Community

Bluesheet Club is a brain injury support group that caters to a wide demographic of brain injury survivors. Clubhouse gatherings take place each Wednesday starting Jan. 4, 2023.

Activities include:

“Saving Mr. Tomato Head” is an initiative that allows young students to learn about parts and functions of the brain to help them self-advocate to meet their learning needs, understand the fragility of the brain and ways to prevent concussions and other brain injuries. The “Saving Mr. Tomato Head” presentation is available for booking for grade schools, camps, and after-school-care groups around Victoria, BC.

The Giant Word Winder is a word game that meets several of the curriculum standards for several grades and levels of English learners. The brain injury survivors in The Bluesheet Club found that Word Winder improved their language, cognitive abilities, and communication deficits. The Giant Word Winder can be booked for schools, retirement homes and learning centres.

Word Jumble is a word game inspired by The Word Jumble. This game was found to improve the language abilities of brain injury survivors, restock their active vocabulary, and connect them with local and international communities. Mind X. Magazine, David Hoyt’s Education Foundation, and international magazines have previously published Word Jumble, created by Greg Goldberg and Bluesheet Club.

Time To Talk Traumatic Brain Injury is a Bluesheet Club podcast produced by brain injury survivors. The podcast aims to facilitate conversations, answer questions, and share first-hand experiences and knowledge about brain injury. Each week, brain injury survivors discuss their challenges, share useful coping strategies, and create a supportive and safe space for listeners. Peer participation is encouraged.
