Rebroadcast: Supporting the mental health needs of people with aphasia S06 E13

A few times a year we rebroadcast episodes of interest to listeners. This week, we bring you an episode from season 3. Leah Paice, from the Vic Branch Professional Education committee, chats with Dr. Caroline Baker, Research Affiliate at the Aphasia CRE and Research and Clinical Practice Lead in the Speech Pathology Department at Monash Health. Caroline speaks about the mental health considerations when working with a person with aphasia. Speech Pathology Australia acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of lands, seas and waters throughout Australia, and pay respect to Elders past, present and future. We recognise that the health and social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are grounded in continued connection to culture, country, language and community and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
