About National Aphasia Synergy
National Aphasia Synergy is a nonprofit organization that promotes an aphasia community led by peers. Our strength is sharing the stories of successes and challenges. This is life participation at its core!
52% of people with aphasia develop depression
44% of people with aphasia have anxiety
Synergy was developed to help support people with aphasia. We can best serve those with similar needs by networking local aphasia groups and individuals with aphasia in order to share ideas, resources, and support in a central place. NAS Mission Statement
NAS is a peer-led community of people with aphasia driven to:
• educate people with aphasia (PWA)
• empower PWA to use technology to improve communication skills
• promote peer-befriending with new or struggling PWA
• develop a national PWA community
• encourage optimism and a positive outlook in PWA
NAS Vision Statement
Our vision is that one day, the population of the United States will have a greater understanding of aphasia, and as a result, all people with aphasia will be treated with respect and kindness. Synergy will be a national community serving people with aphasia to end the isolation. Soon, our website is intended to be a rich source for people with aphasia. Our plan is for people with aphasia to help other people with aphasia thrive. Synergy will offer people with aphasia:
• strategies
• tips and tools
• stories about PWA and an opportunity to share stories
• discussions and chats
• verified resources for PWA
• links to newspapers and other media across the nation
We need you to help us grow. Every little bit will help us to provide a strong online presence for the aphasia community.
