![]() The Stroke Network provides on-line support to stroke survivors and stroke caregivers of adult stroke. We have found that a stroke caregiver or another member of the stroke family will seek out a web site looking for information about stroke after their loved one has just had one. They will perform a search in one of the major search engines, ie Google, and then click on The Stroke Network at http://www.strokenetwork.org/. Not only do we have dozens of resources for stroke survivors but we also have many resources for the stroke caregiver. On one hand, the stroke survivor is usually looking for information about stroke or is trying to connect with other stroke survivors. Many stroke survivors are released from their rehabilitation hospital and then might not have a local stroke support group, transportation to the group, conflicts with the meeting schedule or might have emotional lability so bad that they cannot bare the thought of being around others. On the other hand, the stroke caregiver needs information and lots of it. Stroke caregivers are faced with a multitude of decisions. Many stroke caregivers are totally stressed out between having to make immediate decisions, searching for information and then needing a medium to vent, rant, rave and to ask practical questions. There are many features to our network of websites. Click here to browse through them. Our support forums are available to anybody with a computer but may not be able to make it to a real life support group. We use the net to connect with others, however we can. So who are we? We are people from around the world who have survived a stroke that want to do something for our stroke brethrens. We know that they cannot obtain the stroke support locally so we are here for them on-line.
