For Stroke Survivors, Caregivers, Family & Friends
Join our in-person Stroke Support Group sessions to connect, share experiences, and receive support. These meetings are designed for stroke survivors and their caregivers and are open to family and friends who are part of the survivor’s support system. Having a stroke can be very isolating. By meeting on a regular basis, members help one another face and overcome common challenges by sharing experiences and encouraging one another. Talking to others who have experienced a stroke can reduce stress, ease feelings of isolation, and aid in the recovery process.
