A series of support group meetings for stroke and head injury survivors and their family members will be held at the Henry C. Youngerman Center for Communication Disorders beginning in late February.
A typical group meeting includes activities to help stroke and head injury survivors use compensatory strategies to improve communication skills, provide educational information and create an opportunity to socialize and share experiences. Light refreshments will be provided.
Sessions, held on alternating Tuesdays, 3 to 4 p.m., in Thompson Hall Room E148, begin Feb, 21. Additional meetings are scheduled on March 7 and 21, April 4 and 18, and May 2.
The Youngerman Center recognizes that there are individuals in the community whose insurance benefit for therapy has been exhausted but their hopes for improvement have not. Contact Julie Williams, coordinator, at 716-673-4618 or 716-673-3203 for more information about attending the group.
