What is aphasia? 🧠

Aphasia affects how we communicate. It can change:
• Speaking
• Understanding
• Reading
• Writing

It happens when the brain gets hurt. Usually from stroke or brain injury. No two are alike.

💙 Important: Aphasia does not affect how smart you are.

Your thoughts are still there. Your intelligence is still there. Sometimes the words just don't come out the way you want.

You are still YOU.

Sometimes, young adults need more support than outpatient therapy can provide, but a hospital setting feels too restrictive or re-traumatizing. That's where our residential treatment center comes in.

We provide sub-acute stabilization for young adults 18-30 in a community-based environment—because the right level of care can make all the difference.

Congratulations to my niece Jennifer!!! 👩‍🎓Proud Auntie here❤️❤️

Commencement day is here! 🎓

Today, 1,723 undergraduates are expected to take part in the University of Maine’s 223rd commencement ceremonies at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. We’re excited to welcome 10,000 guests to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor!

The morning ceremony is for students in the UMaine College of Earth, Life, and Health Sciences, the Maine Business School and the Division of Lifelong Learning. The afternoon ceremony is for students in the Maine College of Engineering and Computing, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the UMaine College of Education and Human Development.

Robert Dana (’80), longtime dean of students who retired earlier this year, will deliver an address during the two undergraduate ceremonies. An Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters will be conferred to UMaine’s own George H. Denton, a multi-generational leader in glacial research and climate science education, during the morning ceremony.
