Our workshops and education events for whānau and friends are designed to help you have more enjoyable conversations with your loved one/friend who has aphasia. Three options are being held this year.
Supported Conversation Training has two parts – an initial workshop and a follow-up session. These are held over Zoom.
Life History Book Workshop – this is intended to help you to create a life history book together with the person who has aphasia. Recording their life story is often a very rewarding experience – prompting reflection and communication, and the information can help to promote conversation and interaction moving forward.
Setting up a conversation environment is a new presentation for 2026. The aim of this Zoom event is to help whānau/family and friends to prepare for conversation – this can help with the success and enjoyment of the conversation!
