We are a support group of stroke survivors and their carers based in Melbourne, Australia.
Stroke, or brain attack, is the third most common cause of death in Australia. According to National Stroke Foundation statistics, stroke affects 53,000 Australians each year. It is caused by either a blockage in the blood vessels to the brain, or a burst blood vessel causing bleeding inside the brain.
Stroke can occur at any age, and survivors and their families may feel isolated by their physical, mental and social disabilities. We aim to provide support to stroke survivors and their carers in the Boroondara area.
The Boroondara Stroke Support Group has produced a Stroke Recovery DVD which addresses many of the issues facing stroke survivors, (and their carers and families), who have long-term social, physical and psychological difficulties that affect their ability to integrate back into their families and communities. Information about the Stroke Recovery DVD and how to order copies may be found here.
