Support and Connection
Navigating the journey of recovery after a stroke can be both challenging and overwhelming for patients and their families. At the NWORSN, we understand the importance of having a strong support system and access to valuable resources during this critical time. This section on the website is designed to empower stroke survivors and their loved ones by providing comprehensive information, emotional support, and opportunities for connection.
Join us as we explore the various avenues of support available to you, ensuring that no one has to face the challenges of stroke recovery alone. Together, we can build resilience, promote healing, and celebrate each step forward.
