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: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.

Learn about all the brain tumor support group opportunities on our Support Group Resource page. \nThe Emory Brain Tumor Support Group currently meets via the online platform Zoom due to pandemic safety concerns. When able\, the group meets at the St. Joseph’s campus of Emory Healthcare in Atlanta\, Georgia. However\, 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. \nMeetings are held every other Thursday from 12:30 – 2:00 pm ET. The meetings are open to patients and their caregivers. Some meetings include a guest speaker on topic relevant to the brain tumor community. Past guests have included representatives from the Brain Donor Project\, the Jasper Health app\, physical therapy professionals and more. \nAll support group meetings are facilitated by a trained medical professional and are inclusive of all patients who are facing a brain tumor diagnosis and their caregivers. \nPlease RSVP to Farnaz Arabshahi at farnaz.arabshahi@emoryhealthcare.org or call 404-668-9511 to register and receive the Zoom invite.

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.
