We have Stroke and Aphasia Support Groups in Telegram / Whatsapp apps ( Telegram is preferred ) to make stronger the voice of stroke affected, and help all stroke affected. To elaborate , the groups are for Stroke Affected, their family caregivers and all public-minded stroke management professionals ( such as physiotherapists, doctors, SLPs..) who want to help. All of these may be located anywhere in the World.
We also have a separate group on Telegram for the Aphasia affected, for them to practice speech exercises.
The rules/norms /etiquette of behavior of all our groups are the same and can be found by clicking here.
Here is a short video from some members of their experience of the groups.
