CANTONESE APHASIA GROUP
MANDARIN APHASIA GROUP
SPANISH APHASIA GROUP
***CO-SURVIVOR GROUP ***
A co-survivor is a loved one, friend, caregiver or anyone whose life has been impacted by changes in their communication with the person with aphasia.
The co-survivor group meets on the same night as the aphasia group, but at 7:30 pm, not at 5 pm. The co-survivor group is led by Christine Beverin, CCC-SLP.
If you are joining us for the first time, let us know which small group you would like to start with. If you are not sure, we can help you decide.
You are welcome to change groups at any time.
