About this group:
This group is held every Tuesday in a church hall on Willoughby Rd, Crows Nest and runs from 10:30am till 11:30am. Morning tea is served and there are regular celebrations of group members birthdays. The highlight of the year is the Christmas Party, a lunch usually held at a local restaurant.
Partners are welcome to attend the group, however most of the time they choose to go to a local coffee shop for their own gatherings.
This group has a particular focus on Communication and all members who attend this group have some communication impairment (such as Aphasia). There is a speech pathologist who works with members at each meeting and aims to improve communication problems resulting from Stroke.
These sessions are relaxed and social with the following format:
- discussion of current affairs,
- a weekly quiz
- regular word finding games.
- Presentations by members
The aim is to build confidence and encourage conversation in a supportive and social environment.
