π 10-years of Aphasia Victoria! π
In the lead up to our 10-year anniversary event, we are celebrating 10 milestones. A big one for us is Aphasia Victoria committee members Anne, Barry, Lauren and Catherine appearing on the The House Of Wellness πΊ
Barry joked that Anne won't tolerate people trying to finish her sentences, Lauren shared some insights about aphasia, and how to best communicate with someone living with aphasia (ask what works best for them!) and Catherine shared her lived-experience on having aphasia.
We're incredibly lucky to have wonderful volunteers supporting our work and sharing their stories!
