We are interested in learning more about the experiences people with aphasia have had with mental health professionals. We are doing semi-structured interviews (on zoom or in person) to learn about how they perceive these services when they are able to access them. The overall goal is to tease out the facilitators and barriers that still are limiting access to these professionals for people with aphasia. We hope to advance the field forward in our understanding of what could be done as far as a training program for mental health providers to increase their confidence with people with aphasia, and to better understand the speech language pathologist’s role in that training.
