Stroke Support Groups     What is a Support Group? Support groups are a way to meet other stroke survivors or caregivers who understand what you are going through.  They can provide support, help you problem solve, learn about stroke and recovery issues, help you find local resources, or just have fun.  Groups can meet monthly, bi-monthly, or weekly and at different times of the day.  Sometimes you may need to visit several groups in order to find one that is right for you.   Find A Support Group If you are looking for a stroke group in your area, search the Stroke Group Registry by entering either a ZIP code and choosing a mileage radius, or entering a state, to find a group near you.   Stroke Support Group Registry Search     Start A Support Group By becoming involved in Discovery Circles, or in any support group, survivors work toward setting individual goals, self-help, and self-discovery.  For information on how to start and run a successful stroke group, click here to download the Discovery Circles Manual (coming soon...).   Register Your Support Group National Stroke Association would like to include your group's information in our national stroke group registry.  The detailed information you provide will help match your group with potential new members through our website and our national help-line 1-800-STROKES.  The registration process is simple.  Click here to download a Stroke Group Registration Form and to learn about the benefits of registering your group.    Discussion Guides New resource for stroke support groups!
