Support After a Stroke

Support groups can help you and your family connect with others who are experiencing similar lifestyle changes after stroke.

BIDMC Stroke Support Group

Stroke Support GroupBIDMC's stroke support group offers an opportunity for patients, their families and caregivers to learn from the BIDMC medical team and each other about living with the effects of a stroke. Each meeting includes presentations from the Boston medical community about topics the survivors share with one another and positive changes patients can make to enhance post-stroke recovery.

Group members also have the opportunity at each meeting to share and learn from each other about their experiences with stroke and the path they are taking on their road to recovery.
