SSF + Greentree – support group introduction

Stroke support groups provide essential long-term peer support to stroke survivors, carers, family and friends. Peer support occurs when people provide knowledge, personal experience, and emotional, social or practical help to each other. They provide an opportunity for those who have been affected by stroke to rediscover previous skills, learn new skills, regain confidence, increase independence, sense of empowerment and socialize with other individuals who have had similar experiences.
