Hello MnCAN Community,

We LOVE this MnCAN community! It has been a busy start to the year as we welcomed twenty (20) NEW participants into our current programs. We also welcomed two (2) new speech language pathologists to facilitate groups.

This newsletter is meant to share information, resources and education. If you have suggestions for what you would like us to include in our monthly newsletter, please email us at contact@mncan.org.

All of our best to you,
