No, we are not a service provider nor do we provide therapy services through mission trips. However, we do have a selection of programs that we can offer to train local therapists and caregivers. Please refer to Our Work/Our Impact page to view our current programs.

Do you accept in-kind donations or equipment?



It depends. We do accept in-kind donations if it is related to training needs (pens, food), fundraising events (food, drinks), marketing (shirts, handouts, banners), or technology. We typically do not accept equipment or therapy materials unless we have a training program built for it, and the donor can cover the transportation/shipping cost.

Do you have opportunities for counselors, psychologists, or mental health therapists?



No, not in our mental health program, but we may have other opportunities available. Our mental health program is based on psychosocial support from an occupational therapy perspective. However, we do welcome allied professionals to check out other volunteer opportunities, like becoming an Ambassador or joining our Board of Directors.

How do I become a certified TBB trainer?

Becoming a certified TBB trainer is a year-long process, and requires virtual collaboration. It involves being a committed TBB volunteer while you are being trained. There is potential to become a certified TBB trainer of an existing program, as well as for a new program, but both of these opportunities are dependent on funding and local partnerships. Please contact opportunities@tbbinc.org for more information.

I want to provide therapy in another country to help, are there any mission volunteer trips?



We do not follow the conventional model of mission or short-term volunteer trips. Nevertheless, as a member of the TBB team, you have the chance to earn a trip to meet our local trainers abroad and learn from their leadership within our programs. We take pride in our collaboration to empower local trainers within their communities.

We are interested in attending a training program; how can we access it?

What is a program volunteer?



A program volunteer is an individual who co-develops or contributes to program content in collaboration with the TBB global & local teams. This is a virtual role, focused on empowerment of local team members. It may also involve steps of our train-the-trainer process.

When will you be expanding to other countries?
