What is the Central Victorian Stroke Support Group?

Founded in 1997 by three stroke survivors, the Central Victorian Stroke Support Group Inc. is a self help group of Stroke survivors, Carers, family members and friends.

Its purpose is to:

• Provide regular get-togethers for social connectedness with others sharing common experiences
• Nurture its members back into mainstream activities in the community
• Provide information about appropriate services relevant to stroke recovery
• Promote stroke awareness and stroke prevention

After a stroke, people often feel challenged beyond their ability to cope. Family members find it hard to understand, friendships can be broken, and often the Stroke Survivor and Carer feel alone and isolated, experiencing emotions such as anger, frustration and negativity.

We can help alleviate these emotions by providing you with a network of caring and understanding friends. The Group offers a great social outlet, a place to come along and enjoy yourself, to meet others who share similar experiences to yours.

You can be as involved in the group as you wish. You can attend our monthly lunches or even become a committee member to help support the Group as well as others.

Other social activities such as film nights, barbecues and coffee mornings are arranged throughout the year.

Where and when luncheons are held:

The Support Group meets on the last Saturday of every month excluding December and Public Holiday weekends.

For further details on any matter contact one of our members listed below.

If you are concerned about coming to our lunch for the first time, please call one of our members who will meet with you and make your introduction into the group more comfortable.

DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE.
