Hey there, we meet weekly every Monday at 1pm on the 4th floor of Sir Charles Gairdner hospital Perth.  Block A, it is a very casual meeting for stroke survivors & carers, , swap stories, exchange information & have a few laughs,the people that attend vary in times since having their stroke & ages from mid 30s to 70s, the only stipulation we have is that attendees are friendly & fun, for further information feel free to contact me, Craig.

Hi Craig

It is great to hear that you have weekly meetings for stroke survivors to casually meet. Have you heard of any in Adelaide as It would take me a lot of time to travel back and forth.

Adam

Hi Adam,Thanks for enquiring about our meetings, yes, it would be a long way for you to travel, but worth it, no, I havnt heard of any meetings in Adelaide but try asking physios & OTs at your hospitals in Adelaide, otherwise you may have to start your own group, it's not that difficult, I'm sure you could do it,

Cheers, Craig.

Hi Craig

Do you know if there is a group for Carers only (of Stroke Survivors). Perhaps I may just have to start my own?

Regards Rose

 

Hi Rose,

 

The National Stroke Foundation can assist you with a Stroke Support Group tool kit to assist you with starting a group.

Hi Jonathan,

 

The team on StrokeLine (health professional free call support line) is looking into this for you. They also have a number that you can call 1800 787 653.

 

Try these guys too:

Also if you connect with us on Facebook, there are a lot of parents for you to talk to to the community. https://www.facebook.com/strokefoundation 

 

Here is some information from our website: https://www.strokefoundation.com.au/about-stroke/types-of-stroke/childhood-stroke

 

Also CHASA, a USA community, but they are a great source of information: http://chasa.org/
