You’re not alone.
Stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) survivors and their caregivers are often helped by talking to others who have had similar experiences. There are a number of stroke support groups in the community; the resources are provided below. It is always a good idea to contact a group representative to determine the current meeting times and nature of the support group.
