The Stroke Support Group at UPMC Northwest offers education, support, and resources for individuals and families who have been affected by a stroke. 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.
