Our stroke support group is a community organization for stroke survivors and their family members, friends or others. It helps people learn more about strokes, share their experiences about strokes, and become inspired to move forward after their stroke.
What are the benefits of attending a Stroke Support Group?
A stroke can be very isolating. By meeting regularly, members help one another face and overcome common challenges by sharing experiences and encouraging one another. Sharing similar problems helps survivors learn to live with the changes. Our stroke support group offers survivors, their caregivers, and other family members chances to share concerns and support each other. They unite around their common experiences and find a positive solution.
How can Culbertson's Stroke Support Group help me?
- Culbertson's Stroke support group allows stroke survivors to help themselves and other survivors create meaningful lives after a stroke.
- New goals and friendships are started, renewing hope and encouraging independence.
- It can motivate passive “patients” to become thriving survivors and create active new roles for themselves.

We Are Here To:
