Their goal is to integrate stroke education into school curriculums and community hubs to empower early stroke recognition and care.

Supporting Life After Stroke! Life after stroke can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances and the effectiveness of rehabilitation. Several studies have explored different aspects of life after stroke, including outcomes, long-term predictors, and the role of various interventions. An important aspect that is often forgotten is Social activity and life satisfaction: Studies like Boosman et al. (2010) have shown that social activity contributes independently to life satisfaction three years post-stroke, highlighting the importance of social engagement in post-stroke life. 🤗 Stroke awareness and advocacy groups play an essential role in offering support to stroke survivors, caregivers, family, and friends. Built on friendships and fun, they are a safe and supportive space to try things again, to learn more about stroke and self-care, and to build your confidence as you rebuild your life after stroke. 👏 Let's recognize and appreciate the invaluable work of groups like : Stroke Foundation Heart & Stroke Stroke Association Irish Heart Foundation #StrokeSurvivor #LifeAfterStroke #StrokeRecovery #SupportGroups #StrokeAdvocacy #StrokeAwareness
