Show notes

Send us Fan MailHosts Rob Edwards and Jonathan Hirons introduce guest, Genevieve Richardson, a US speech-language pathologist, focuses on supporting “care partners,” arguing recovery improves when caregivers receive training and support to prevent burnout. They compare UK and US support systems, discussing variability in access, the role of insurance and advocacy, and the importance of in-person and online groups to combat isolation. Genevieve describes her telepractice, 12-month care partner roadmap with weekly training and live support, plus a bootcamp and membership, addressing communication strategies and practical life needs like legal and emergency planning. They discuss collaboration via new websites and resources, and share links to the film and Genevieve’s podcast and sites.00:00 Aphasia Needs Action00:12 Podcast Welcome and Aphasia Basics01:09 Care Partners Matter02:05 US vs UK Support Systems04:20 Groups and Ongoing Resources06:46 Genevieve Care Partner Roadmap10:24 How the 12 Month Program Works11:42 Community Fights Isolation13:05 Scaling Up and The Numbers14:16 Life Logistics and Caregiver Tools17:50 Building a Global Movement19:07 Aphasia Energy and The Gas Tank20:28 New Website and Collaboration21:52 Genevieve Podcast and Bootcamp23:13 Wrap Up Links and Resources24:44 Final Credits and Sign OffGenevieve's websites:https://www.dolifespeechpathology.comhttps://www.lifeaphasiaacademy.coSupport the showSupport the show: Donate NowThis podcast is funded by https://www.bas.org.ukTo watch Jonathan’s film: https://tipofmytonguefilm.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tipofmytonguefilmLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhirons/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tipofmytonguepodcast/X: http://x.com/buffaloloungeukThe Tavistock Trust for Aphasia websitehttp://aphasiatavistocktrust.org
