MEETINGS

Monthly 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.

August meeting: St. John Ambulance's Therapy Dogs

At our August general meeting, we had the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs join us. SOS Niagara would like to thank Denis Dallaire and all the four-legged guests and their handlers for providing joy and comfort to everyone in attendance.

The program originally began in June of 1992 in Peterborough, Ontario. The St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program brings the benefits of pet companionship to both children and adults that are hospitalized, adults residing in long term care facilities, children struggling with reading, adult and child victims of trauma and crime, students stressed from school challenges and individuals in homeless shelters.
