Last year's walkathon made something new possible.

We launched a Low Mood and Resilience Workshop for people living with aphasia.

Aphasia can bring isolation. Frustration. Low self-esteem.

The group helped participants rebuild confidence, reconnect with friends, and find joy again.

That happened because donors showed up.

This year we need $25,000 to keep growing.

June is Aphasia Awareness Month. 💙

Aphasia affects the ability to speak, read, and write.

Studies show nearly 85% of people have never heard of it — yet it is more common than Parkinson's disease or MS.

This June, we are walking to change that.

Join us. Support us. Share this post.

10th Annual Talk, Stroll & Roll Walkathon

We are incredibly grateful to the City of Brampton for officially proclaiming June 2026 as Aphasia Awareness Month. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to Mayor Patrick Brown and Deputy Mayor Harkirat Singh for recognizing the importance of raising awareness about aphasia and supporting a more inclusive community for individuals living with communication challenges.

Aphasia affects more than 165,000 Canadians, yet only 5% of the population has basic knowledge of the condition. Proclamations like this help spark conversations, increase understanding, and reduce the isolation many people with aphasia experience every day.

We are proud to continue advocating for awareness, inclusion, and communication access throughout Brampton and beyond. Thank you for helping shine a light on aphasia this June.

May is Mental Health Month — and people living with aphasia are at a higher risk of depression and social isolation.

When communication becomes difficult, everyday interactions can become exhausting. Conversations may feel harder to follow, relationships can shift, and many people begin to withdraw from social situations altogether.

Over time, that isolation can take a significant toll on mental health — leading to feelings of loneliness, frustration, and disconnection.

That’s why support, inclusion, and meaningful connection matter so much. Creating space for slower conversations, patience, and accessible communication can help people with aphasia feel seen, included, and supported.

This Mental Health Month, let’s recognize that communication and mental wellbeing are deeply connected.

📖 Aphasia Research Spotlight!

Can group conversation treatment for aphasia work online? 🤔
A recent study explored just that — comparing telepractice with in-person therapy.

✨ Findings:
- Both in-person and telepractice conversation groups improved communication outcomes compared to no treatment.
- In-person groups showed slightly broader gains, but telepractice still proved to be a meaningful and accessible option.

This research highlights the potential of virtual therapy to support people with aphasia, especially when in-person services aren’t possible.
