Happy National Caregiver Day! Our H-PCAP team wants to take a moment to say thank you to all of you for the tremendous work you do every day to support your loved ones with aphasia. Whether it is supporting your loved ones’ communication; helping with activities of daily living; or providing emotional support; we know that it is a hard journey and that your efforts may go unrecognized. We see you and appreciate you, and have great respect for all of you. Some days you may f...eel very alone in your journey. Please know that we’re here to support you, not just your loved one with aphasia. Please take some time today to reflect on all the wonderful support you’ve provided and take time for yourselves whether it’s a walk in the sunshine, a phone call with a friend, reading a book, or sitting quietly with a cup of coffee. It’s important to take care of yourselves and you deserve it!

This month we've been talking about #aphasia advocacy. Many of our clients use aphasia wallet cards such as this one when out in the community. Have a story to share about a time you used a wallet card? Tell us below in the comments! Was it well received? Did it help in the interaction? ... #aphasiaawareness

Our members shared their personal mantras this week and we’re truly inspired! Do you have a personal mantra or words of inspiration that you tell yourself each day? Share with us in the comments #aphasiaawareness

We still have space in our virtual #aphasia information and training session this Saturday! Please share with anyone who may want to learn about aphasia and how to have better conversations with someone who "knows more than they can say."

* Virtual Aphasia Information and Training Session * See the poster below for more details! We hope you will join us! #aphasia

We spent this morning talking aphasia and communication This training ended up having an informal Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) focus due to the needs of the individuals attending. We were impressed by the amazing questions and, as always, the value in sharing experiences. What a great Saturday morning! ... Enjoy the rest of the weekend H-PCAP community! #aphasia #aphasiaawareness
