Parenting is no easy feat but can be particularly challenging when one parent has aphasia. Parenting with Aphasia meets virtually once a month, inviting parents with kids of all ages to join together in a safe, non-judgmental space to share experiences, receive positive peer support, and learn more about how other parents are navigating the highs and lows of modern-day parenting when aphasia is along for the ride.

Young adults with aphasia have a unique experience in the aphasia community. Join us to talk about relationships, work, school, health care and insurance, therapy, and more. This group is advised by Kitti Tong and Katie Breece, both of whom are young adults with aphasia.

This inclusive, aphasia-friendly group discusses a wide range of topics, including sharing tips and some of the challenges faced living while Black and struck by an invisible, severely underknown disability called aphasia.  We welcome all who acknowledge the existence of the unique challenges each quality poses and support the mission of creating an emotional refuge for Black people living with aphasia.

Join us for conversation about cultivating wellness in your daily life. Whether it’s through a yoga or mindfulness practice, social connections, physical fitness, healthy nutrition, listening to good music or podcasts, or even just treating yourself to a fancy skincare product, how do you promote wellness and self-care? All are invited to share ideas and suggestions.
