Help and Support
Your stroke is yours alone. But it takes a team for your recovery.
A stroke changes your life — and the life of your loved ones. Whether it’s in person, online or on the phone, lean on others who also have had an experience with stroke. From caregivers to support groups, your network can lift you up, inspire, give you hope — and help rehabilitate your body and mind.
Support Groups
Social interaction and simply connecting with others help ease the depression and isolation so common after stroke.
Caregiver Support
A stroke survivor’s family is often the most important source of support during recovery and rehabilitation. But who takes care of the caregiver?
