Speak Up! is a support group for young adults ages 18-45 who could benefit from connection and support during the aphasia recovery journey with their younger peers. The group is facilitated by a Speech Language Pathologist.  There is no charge for attending. This group aims to:

• to provide connection and support; to know that you are not alone in this journey with aphasia

• to develop friendships within the group, perhaps to extend outside of the group environment
• to learn from others how to best cope with issues related to aphasia
• to gain confidence in communication and/or life participation
• to feel accepted as yourself; to find this place to belong
• to talk about issues that are typical for this age group:
• to provide opportunities for social activities and outings/events as a group
• to learn more about aphasia, resources, related education
