Starting the bank holiday weekend on a high…first participant recruited to @StarStep_study feasibility study. Thanks to all involved in making this happen. Excited to learn more about how we can best support self-management for people with aphasia. #andwereoff #gogogo

6/6 With thanks to all our fantastic group members and @jesshall542 for helping to facilitate the session.

5/6 Using feedback from the first session, we took time at the end of the group to go around each person so that they could say how they thought the session had gone or what they thought about the discussion. A lovely and positive way to draw the session to a close!

Happy New Year @StarStep_study followers! Our second #coproduction group to develop a supported #selfmanagement approach for stroke survivors with #aphasia took place in December last year. Find out what happened here... 👇👇👇
