It’s natural for stroke survivors to get a serious case of the blues. Your world has been unexpectedly turned on its head. But you don’t have to go it alone during your recovery and beyond. The RTH Stroke Foundation offers free twice monthly Stroke Support Groups where stroke survivors and their family members, friends and others learn more about a stroke, share their experiences, and become inspired to move forward. It’s not possible to overstate what hugely positive effects these support groups have in the lives of stroke survivors and those close to them.
A stroke can be very isolating, so it is important for stroke survivors to meet regularly with other members who will help each of them face and overcome common challenges. A stroke support group is a place for stroke survivors and caregivers to make new friends, socialize, gain realistic feedback, help others and find meaning in life that may have been lacking in their lives since their stroke. Stroke support groups often are the key to uncovering the hidden strengths in many survivors with the warmth, acceptance and emotional support that is needed after a stroke.
The RTH Stroke Foundation Stroke Support Group meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 1:30PM to 3:00PM in Suite 110 of the Roxanna Todd Hodges Foundation Office. There is no cost. For any questions or if you want to register, please contact Janet French at (888) 794-9466 or (949) 916-1597.
