Stroke - After Stroke Program

There are more than 62,000 new strokes in Canada each year about one every nine minutes but better and faster treatment means there are more stroke survivors than ever before. How we can help: Our After Stroke program is a personalized recovery program that helps survivors and their families move forward after a stroke.

A stroke may cause problems with speaking, understanding and moving around. It can affect a persons mental health and make them feel isolated. It can also affect family, friends and others around the stroke survivor and their relationships with them. Our After Stroke coordinators work one-on-one with stroke survivors and their families to connect them with: a personalized recovery plan, resources in their community, and a network of support to help navigate the journey ahead. Our vision is for a world where stroke survivors and their families can recover and live active, healthy and connected lives. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke and we are here to help make it possible. Find out more about our national After Stroke program at www.afterstroke.ca.
