Service: Caregiver Support Groups

Stroke Recovery Association of Manitoba

Each and every recovery journey is different. At the Stroke Recovery Association we provide programs, resources and support groups to help you find your way – and find what works for YOU. Our support groups are run by fellow stroke survivors which allows for a supportive, encouraging environment where survivors feel heard and understood. We offer programs throughout the week both in person and virtually, that offer physical, creative and social benefits. Our friendly and knowledgeable office staff are available to take your calls and emails with any questions you might have about our programs or any other stroke resources in the province.
