What are the effects of stroke? Every stroke is unique but there can be commonality between the psychological , physical and social after-effects. How many of these can you relate to?

#WorldStrokeDay #NotJustTheElderly #DifferentStrokesCommunity

Isolation is one of the biggest challenges younger stroke survivors tell us about. In fact, nearly half report feeling lonely after their stroke. We asked our #DifferentStrokesCommunity to share with us what peer support has meant to them on their journey.

Every second counts when it comes to recognising the signs of stroke. Knowing what to look for could help save a life — including your own.

If you’re a stroke survivor, what were your first symptoms?

Peer support can make a huge difference after stroke. It’s about connecting with people who get it — sharing experiences, rebuilding confidence & realising you’re not alone.
Our community is built on this. Together, recovery is possible. #WorldStrokeDay #DifferentStrokesCommunity

Today is World Stroke Day! 💙 We’ll be here all day, sharing content, amplifying your voices and celebrating community - which is one of the most powerful tools in recovery!
You can make a HUGE difference by engaging, sharing posts and spreading the word! 💚 #WorldStrokeDay #DifferentStrokesCommunity

You muster all your energy to be social…
…and your brain says: “Nice try.”

Social battery? Depleted.
Conversation? Completed.
Bed? Immediately.
