The Aphasia Center of Acadiana has been hard at work trying to increase access to mental health services (counseling) for people with aphasia. We have been working with two licensed professional counselors in the area to train them on accessible communication for people with aphasia to increase meaningful mental health services, Elizabeth DeVargus, MS, PLPC and Becca Bowers, MS, LPC.
We are also thrilled to announce that the The Stuller Family Foundation has given us a $5000 grant to help support the cost of these services to people with aphasia who are in need. We also will partner with UL Lafayette’s Speech, Language and Hearing Center and UL Lafayette Communicative Disorders Department to provide some of these services at their clinic.
If you are interested in these services (or know someone who would benefit), please let us know and we can get you in contact with one of these trained counselors. If you also need financial assistance for these services, please let us know!
