You are invited to join us for the next Stroke Information talk
When: Thursday 28th March
Time: 12.30pm - 2pm
Where: On Zoom
This Stroke HIT session is part of the Bristol LYRA - Bristol Poetry Festival. We will be talking about aphasia, the workshops we have run funded by the Festival and how the creative arts can help with post-stroke recovery. Our group members will also be performing the poetry and art that were created from the workshops.
Aphasia is a communication disability which affects someone’s ability to speak, write, read or understand. About a third of all people who have a stroke will be affected by aphasia.
Lyra is Bristol’s annual poetry festival. Lyra brings together local, national and international poets and speakers representing Bristol as a centre of world class poetry. Their aim is to showcase poetry in the widest range of forms possible, we are so proud to be part of this festival and helping demonstrate how powerful the creative process can be in supporting people to express themselves after stroke related Aphasia.
This work is being led by Hazel Hammond a poet, stroke affected person and someone who lives with aphasia you can read about her fascinating recovery story here: Hazels Story
