Camden & Islington Communication Support Service (Stroke Association)

Camden & Islington Communication Support service runs the Camden Communication Plus group and the Camden Aphasia* Café. 

*Aphasia is the communication disability that is common after a stroke. It affects people in different ways but can be a devastating condition that can alter all areas of life – such as buying a newspaper, family relationships, or returning to work.

Services:

  • Support for people with various communication disabilities
  • One to one assessment of personal needs
  • Support in a group setting and / or at home
  • The opportunity to practice communication and gain confidence complements the services offered by speech and language therapists
  • Social opportunities, activities and outings
  • Access to local support groups
