Event Details

This group meets every other Thursday on Zoom. For privacy reasons, the zoom link is not posted on any public facing pages. Please contact meeting facilitator at supportgroups@sbtf.org for log-in details.

Aphasia is caused by damage to the language-dominant side of the brain, usually the left side, and may be brought on by stroke, head injury or a brain tumor. This support group specifically brings together the brain tumor patients who are grappling with aphasia; not head injury or stroke patients.

This meeting provides a platform for brain tumor patients, suffering from the effects of aphasia, to share experiences like:

  • falling through the cracks (going undiagnosed)
  • tools, tips & tricks to help relearn language skills
  • educating others on how to help us communicate
  • patience with patients
  • understanding the different types of aphasia and respective treatment options

This group is facilitated by healthcare professional.
