This World Stroke Day, the Aphasia Institute wants you to keep in mind; Every Minute Counts!

Would you recognize the signs of a stroke? Knowing FAST can help you act quickly and save a life.

F – Face: Is one side of the face drooping?
A – Arms: Is one arm weak?
S – Speech: Is speech slurred or difficult to understand?
T – Time: Call 911 immediately.

Stroke is a medical emergency. Do not wait to see if the symptoms go away.

Share this message with someone you care about. Knowing the signs could make all the difference.

Today is World Aphasia Day.

Aphasia is a communication challenge that can affect speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. It often occurs after a stroke or brain injury. While aphasia affects communication, it does not affect intelligence.

Today, we recognize people living with aphasia and the families, care partners, and professionals who support them.

A little patience can make a big difference. Take time to listen, give people time to communicate, and help create spaces where everyone can participate.

Together, we can build more understanding and make communication more accessible.

Six months. One year. Five years. Ten years.
Stroke recovery does not necessarily stop because formal rehabilitation does.

The new AHA/ASA guidelines describe rehabilitation as a longitudinal process with no defined endpoint, with assessment and engagement continuing across the lifespan.

That matters.

Needs change. New goals emerge. And questions about identity, relationships, work, community, mental health, and purpose can surface long after the acute phase of recovery.

A longer view of recovery creates room for people to continue adapting, growing, and seeking support — no matter how much time has passed since stroke.
There is no single timeline for rebuilding a life.

The research behind this campaign states that the desired outcome of our campaign is:

‘One day the world's population will understand aphasia and all people with aphasia will be treated with respect and kindness.’

Good news! Advocating for brain injury just got easier.
Brain Injury Canada has created ready-to-use templates to help you contact your MP and encourage support for Bill C-206, the National Strategy on Brain Injuries Act.
With MPs back in their ridings, now is a great time to speak up. Choose a template, personalize it, and make your voice heard.
Every message helps move brain injury advocacy forward.
