Description of the group:
The Adult Recreation Therapy Centre (ARTC) is a not-for-profit community agency serving seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers in Brantford and the surrounding areas.

ARTC offers small, guided conversation groups for people who have had a stroke or brain injury, including programs specifically for those with Aphasia. Each group is facilitated by a Speech-Language Pathologist, Communicative Disorders Assistant, and Social Worker. Facilitators provide supported and communicatively accessible spaces for participants to share personal experiences and knowledge, while practicing communication skills.

ARTC family members have access to caregiver services, including a monthly peer support group and a weekly self-care group. Some programs are offered in person, while others are available online.
