Stroke Recovery DVD
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. This DVD encourages stroke survivors and carers to rebuild their post-stroke lives, and is therefore more relevant to people later on in their stroke recovery journey.
The production of this DVD was funded by a Boroondara Community Support Grant which the BSSG received in 2005. Our thanks go to the City of Boroondara and the Rotary Club of Balwyn who raised the funds for the Community Support Grants through their regular Sunday Markets in Camberwell.
