Help us raise awareness!

You guys might notice the new addition to the side bar of my blog. Please take a few moments out of your days to take a look at this site. 


It's a project we've been doing for university and Understand Aphasia is our group's attempt to help raise the awareness of Aphasia and spread the word to anyone and everyone. Other groups have created installations around the city, made training packs for work places and created flyers for city centres. The blog we have created gives readers a basic understanding of what Aphasia is and how it affects people. 


Aphasia is a communication impairment which often happens as a result of a stroke. Strokes can happen to people of any age and for no reason. By raising the awareness of Aphasia we can help sufferers recover quicker and they can be understood a lot more. 


I know this is nothing like a usual post but I'm posting it everywhere I possibly can to spread the word. 


As part of the project we were also asked to shove together a basic Public Information Film for the cause. Each group took a different approach and it was quite a hard thing to make a video for as it affects people in different ways and we didn't feel right acting as though we had Aphasia. Instead of that approach, we did a short story board.




It would be greatly appreciated if anyone, who would like to help with this cause, could post up any one of the banners included in the website. Or even just link to this post or the website. 


This project has been a great learning experience for me and although the projects finishing this week, I feel I'm quite likely to keep the blog going and keep in touch with the group of people we've been working with. 


Over and out.
