Useful donations …
for a better quality of life
Outline of projects financed to date
Pictures of the projects
Thanks to the generosity of donors, over the years our foundation
has been able to support a variety of projects throughout
Quebec:
Granby, Laval, Montreal, Quebec City, Sainte-Thérèse, St-Hyacinthe,
Trois-Rivières, Saguenay, etc.
The projects retained, which were presented by groups working
directly with the population targeted, all aimed at improving the
quality of life of persons with aphasia and at breaking the
isolation in which they are all too often confined.
Being in contact with
other persons with aphasia
is often a first
step towards a return to public life.
Gradually
they realize that they are not alone in living with this tragedy
and that it is possible to remake one’s life with aphasia.
Experience shows us that in resuming contact with others, persons
with aphasia not only develop improved skill at using their residual
language ability, they also regain their pride and their
integrity.
Because of our efforts, activities for persons with aphasia have
come into being:
Ø
music studio
Ø
group kitchen
Ø
home visits
Ø
language workships
Ø
etc.
We know
that athose close to persons with aphasia also need a great deal
of support.
For that reason the Foundation is pleased to
encourage projects that make a good deal of room for them.
Ø
individual psychosocial assistance for
persons with aphasia and those close to them
Ø
group cultural outcomes with persons with aphasia and those close to
them
Ø
group meetings with
caregivers
Finally, our Foundation supports initiatives that offer a public
voice to persons with aphasia :
Ø
theatrical productions and regional tours by a troupe made up of
actors with aphasia
Ø
workshop in visual creation with a group of persons with aphasia,
leading to an ambitious public exhibition
We believe that such initiatives are essential
for showing that despite their deficiencies,
persons with aphasia can resume their place within society.
