For stroke survivors

Improves confidence and self-advocacy: Survivors can regain a sense of control and develop new roles and routines.
Creates friendships and social connection: Social interaction is an important part of life after stroke.
Supports continued recovery: A support group reinforces the idea that rehabilitation doesn't end when the patient leaves the hospital.
For caregivers and families
Provides a place to discuss caregiver stress and frustrations with people who truly understand.
Helps families learn from other caregivers.
Provides education about stroke recovery, prevention and available community resources.
Gives caregivers an opportunity to build their own support network.
