Why Peer Support Matters for Stroke

Recovering from a stroke often involves physical, cognitive, and emotional hurdles that can be incredibly isolating. The sudden life changes and slow pace of recovery may bring frustration, fear, or grief—especially when it feels like no one understands. Peer support creates a compassionate space where survivors and caregivers can connect, exchange strategies, and offer encouragement. Talking to others who’ve been there can build hope, normalize the healing journey, and remind participants that progress—however small—is worth celebrating.
