SUMMARY:Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation's Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate another year of the Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation with us! The SBTF was founded in 1995 by a family whose son was facing a brain tumor diagnosis. It has grown into a Foundation that has funded almost $3 million dollars in research\, awarded scholarships\, and supported patients and their families. Our impact together can be seen in the research strides as well as in the improvement of the lives of brain tumor and brain cancer patients and their families. Each year the generosity of our loyal supporters is translated into research grants\, educational scholarships\, support group programs and patient services. The Foundation is proudly served by an all-volunteer Board of Directors who have each been impacted by a brain tumor or brain cancer. \nPlease consider making a birthday gift to the Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation today and celebrate with us! \nSometimes the donations received during our Birthday Celebration are earmarked for a specific goal: \n\nSummer Medical Student Fellowship\npost-secondary scholarships\npatient programs including grocery delivery\, transportation assistance and other services\nor as general donations to the Foundation\n\nDonate here on this site\, on Facebook or on Instagram. However\, if you donate on this site you can choose how to direct your gift: research\, scholarships\, or to lighten the load for patients. Don’t forget to check to see if your employer will match your gift and double the impact of your generosity!

SUMMARY:Aphasia Support Group
DESCRIPTION: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. Our Aphasia Support Group brings together brain tumor patients who are struggling with aphasia. \nDue to pandemic safety concern\, the support group is meeting virtually using the Zoom platform. The online platform is slated to continue even after face-to-face meetings can resume. This will allow participants not in the Atlanta area and those who do not feel comfortable in a group setting to still have access to the support group. \nThe Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation hosted aphasia support group meets bi-weekly via Zoom at 1:30 – 2:30 pm ET on Wednesdays. Some meetings include a guest speaker on topic relevant to the aphasia and brain tumor community. \nPlease contact us at info@sbtf.org for the Zoom invite and details. \nLearn about all the other brain tumor support group opportunities on our Support Group Resource page. \nAphasia is an impairment of language\, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is always due to injury to the brain-most commonly from a stroke\, particularly in older individuals. But brain injuries resulting in aphasia may also arise from head trauma\, from brain tumors\, or from infections. \nAphasia can be so severe as to make communication with the patient almost impossible\, or it can be very mild. It may affect mainly a single aspect of language use\, such as the ability to retrieve the names of objects\, or the ability to put words together into sentences\, or the ability to read. More commonly\, however\, multiple aspects of communication are impaired\, while some channels remain accessible for a limited exchange of information.

SUMMARY:Young Adult Survivor Support Group
DESCRIPTION:The Young Adult Survivor support group meeting provides the young adult brain tumor patient an opportunity to meet other young adult brain tumor survivors\, discuss or share experiences\, and ask questions about treatment plans or effects of treatment on your physical & emotional health. Young adults include those over eighteen but under twenty-five years of age. The Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation does not currently offer a support group for those under the age of eighteen due to HIPA concerns. \nThis support group meeting occurs the second Tuesday of each month from 7:00p-8:30p ET.  Meetings are being held virtually via the Zoom platform until further notice. Once in-person events can resume\, the online format is slated to continue to allow those outside the Atlanta area and those who are not comfortable in the group setting to continue to meet. \nThe meeting is in partnership with the Piedmont Brain Tumor Center. There is a separate Zoom meeting for parents of young adult survivors\, please see our calendar or support group resource page for more information. \nTo RSVP and receive further information\, please email brittany.lawton@piedmont.org \nTo learn about the other brain tumor support groups offered by the Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation\, please visit our Support Group Resource page.

SUMMARY:Aphasia Support Group
DESCRIPTION: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. Our Aphasia Support Group brings together brain tumor patients who are struggling with aphasia. \nDue to pandemic safety concern\, the support group is meeting virtually using the Zoom platform. The online platform is slated to continue even after face-to-face meetings can resume. This will allow participants not in the Atlanta area and those who do not feel comfortable in a group setting to still have access to the support group. \nThe Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation hosted aphasia support group meets bi-weekly via Zoom at 1:30 – 2:30 pm ET on Wednesdays. Some meetings include a guest speaker on topic relevant to the aphasia and brain tumor community. \nPlease contact us at info@sbtf.org for the Zoom invite and details. \nLearn about all the other brain tumor support group opportunities on our Support Group Resource page. \nAphasia is an impairment of language\, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is always due to injury to the brain-most commonly from a stroke\, particularly in older individuals. But brain injuries resulting in aphasia may also arise from head trauma\, from brain tumors\, or from infections. \nAphasia can be so severe as to make communication with the patient almost impossible\, or it can be very mild. It may affect mainly a single aspect of language use\, such as the ability to retrieve the names of objects\, or the ability to put words together into sentences\, or the ability to read. More commonly\, however\, multiple aspects of communication are impaired\, while some channels remain accessible for a limited exchange of information.
