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 health care professional.
