Parenting with Aphasia

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, July 6th, 2022 at 7:00pm ET (4pm PT)

 

Parenting is no easy feat, but can be particularly challenging when one parent has aphasia. Parenting with Aphasia meets virtually once a month, inviting parents with kids of all ages to join together in a safe, non-judgmental space to share experiences, receive positive peer support, and learn more about how other parents are navigating the highs and lows of modern-day parenting when aphasia is along for the ride. This group is for persons with aphasia. We plan to have sessions where both parents join, but the majority of sessions will be for persons with aphasia.

Parenting with Aphasia will meet one Wednesday of every month at 7:00pm EST (4:00pm PST). Our next meeting will be Wednesday, July 6th at 7:00pm ET (4pm PST).

Space is limited. To join, please register by clicking HERE.
