Reaching Out for Stroke Support
Having someone to talk with who has been through what your going through is so important. Knowing you’re not alone can make a big difference in your recovery.
Recent scientific studies are validating the importance of social support in stroke recovery. Social interaction and simply feeling connected to others helps ease the depression and isolation so common after stroke. “Going to a group is like going to a country where everyone speaks your language,” said one survivor. “Stroke survivors know what it’s like. There’s an immense bond.”
Sharing insights and experiences in a support group can help stroke survivors, their families, and friends as they continue on their life path. Reaching out for guidance and support can often make the difference in leading to a successful recovery. Discover simple ways to connect with others and share. You will feel better and so will they..
