Dear members, families, and friends,

In the 1930s, Roosevelt talked to the country over the radio with his fireside chats. This week, we will host our own fireside chat over Zoom! We invite all of our Voices of Hope for Aphasia family to come together, wherever we are, and talk about the latest updates with the programs!

This free screening of the one-hour documentary “Speechless” shows three stroke survivors struggling to regain their life after the loss of communication skills. Through their story we witness a quest for happiness and the real meaning of human communication. The film will be followed by discussion with an expert panel of specialists. June is National Aphasia Awareness Month. About 40% of people who have a stroke have difficulty communicating, a health condition called aphasia. Learn more about what happens and what you can do to help at this event that is free and open to the public.
