WHO WE ARE

A support group for stroke survivors of all ages and their caregivers, family members and friends.

Survivors of Stroke Niagara (SOS Niagara) was established by a small group of people who felt there was a need for support after they or their loved one suffered a stroke.

SOS Niagara has now grown into a thriving support group that helps people connect with peers, exchange information and resources, explore the personal impact of stroke and build supportive relationships.
​

WHAT WE DO

Monthly meetings are usually two hours long. For the first hour, group news information is shared. Guest speakers are often invited to present a variety of topics and to make us aware of available resources. During the second hour of the meeting, members separate into two groups: stroke survivors and caregivers. Each group gathers in different rooms to talk and give each other support. These discussions are informal and confidential.

Some topics discussed: 
  • Community resources
  • Aphasia
  • Returning to driving
  • Proper nutrition and exercise
  • Healthy communication
  • 7 steps to stroke recovery
​
Social events have included: 
  • Bowling
  • Annual Christmas dinner
  • Summer BBQ
  • Cruises on the Grand River
  • Dinner theatres
