MEETINGSMonthly meetings are usually two hours long. For the first hour, survivors and caregivers participate in a variety of activities. Guest speakers are often a part of this first hour. They help with resources and give advice on a variety of topics.
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. |
