Vitality - August
Hello,
Welcome to the August edition of Vitality.
This month we are thrilled to share two of the videos from our Annual Client Forum held on 5 July; Affective Savouring & Anticipation of Mood Concepts, and Communication Matters! If you couldn’t make the Forum this is a great way to view the sessions, we will share more in future editions of Vitality, or if you did attend, you may want to watch them again!
View them below.
Until next time, take care.
MSWA Client Forum 2022
MSWA’s Annual Client Forum
The first video from the Client Forum is Affective Savouring & Anticipation for Mood Concept, presented by Prof. Moira Sim and Prof. Joanne Dickson from Edith Cowan University.
MSWA’s Annual Client Forum
The second video from the Client Forum is from MSWA’s very own Speech Pathology and Dietetics team members Pamela Windram and Georgina Hett. We spotlight the NARNIA project lead by Prof. Anne Whitworth, and we couldn’t help ourselves but finish with a quick activity. Check it out!
