Mount Sinai offers a variety of stroke support groups for stroke survivors, caregivers, and individuals with similar injuries. These groups provide a safe and supportive environment for people to share their experiences, learn from each other, and find support.

Benefits of Joining a Stroke Support Group

  • Connect with others who understand: Stroke support groups can help you connect with others who have been through a similar experience. This can help you feel less alone and isolated.
  • Learn from others: Support groups can be a great source of information and advice about stroke recovery. You can learn from other members' experiences and what has worked for them.
  • Share your experiences: Support groups can also be a safe place to share your own experiences and challenges. This can be helpful for both your emotional and mental health.

We encourage you to contact the group leader to RSVP and learn more about each group.
