After Stroke Support for Caregivers: Finding a Path Forward

Life after a stroke brings many challenges, as needs and circumstances are unique and personal to each stroke survivor and their caregivers. June is Stroke Awareness Month, and in collaboration with March of Dimes Canada, we will share information about the After Stroke program and available supports and services for caregivers. In addition, we will hear from caregivers with lived experience on how they navigated the post-stroke journey and highlights of the After Stroke program that helped them find a path forward.
