Young stroke survivors group

Caring for a family member or a friend who has had a stroke can be a rewarding experience. However, it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting.

Through the experience and insights of other unpaid carers and our Community Stroke Navigators, these seminars and webinars will provide you with tools and ideas to maintain your own wellbeing and deal more effectively with your role as a carer.

What we hope you will gain:

• An understanding that you are not alone and that finding the role stressful and challenging is normal and a natural process
• Background to the breadth of issues a carer may be dealing with
• Practical tips about how to navigate your way as smoothly as possible through each phase of the carer journey (Hospital / rehabilitation, living back at home, transition to respite or residential care)
• An overview of coping mechanisms that have worked well for others
• The opportunity to meet others who are caring for someone after stroke.
