Help and Support
Your stroke is yours alone. But it takes a team for your recovery.

For Family Caregivers
Caregivers deserve our appreciation. The stroke survivor’s family is often the most important source of long-term support during recovery and rehabilitation. But who takes care of the caregiver?

Stroke Support Groups
Stroke support groups can help you get beyond your limitations. Social interaction and simply connecting with others help ease the depression and isolation so common after stroke.
