Online Stroke Support Groups

Stroke Recovery Association NSW > Online Stroke Support Groups

The Stroke Recovery Association offers a range of Online Stroke Support Groups on a regular basis each month. Connecting Stroke survivors and carers from across NSW, the online groups focus on continued recovery after Stroke and the development of new friendships with others who have experienced Stroke. A staff member is present at all of the Online groups to facilitate the session and assist with any issues that may arise.  

The Online Stroke Support Groups include the following:

  • Online Stroke Choir – The Online Stroke Choir is a weekly session that is run by Music Therapists from Tuned In Music Therapy.
  • Topical Thursdays – Each month, the Association invites a guest speaker to present a topic of interest to the group that they specialise in, which is then followed by a Q & A session. Previous guest speakers include Stroke Survivors, Carers, Neurologists, Clinical Nurse Consultants, Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Neuropsychologists, Return to Driving Specialists, Occupational Therapists, Ophthalmologists, Music Therapists and many more.
  • Brain Training– A session that involves members completing memory games as a group.
  • Trivia Tuesday – A 40 question trivia quiz that tests members knowledge on a range of topics. This includes both multiple choice and open ended questions
  • Leisure Time – A combination of some of our popular hobby groups, movie club, gardening club and any new and creative activities people would like to discuss.
  • Beyond Stroke – A time to discuss life after Stroke with others. An ideal place for people looking to talk and for support after Stroke.
  • Carers Afternoon Tea – A group specifically for carers and family members of people who have experienced a Stroke, this is a great opportunity to make connections with other carers and share your experiences.
  • Working Age Sip and Nibbles – This session is specifically for Stroke survivors of working age (under 67 years) and is a great way to connect with others in a relaxed and fun environment. Sessions alternate between a games night and a Stroke focused discussion as a group. The Stroke Recovery Association reminds our members to only drink after clearance from your doctor, to drink in moderation and that drinking may also exacerbate the effects of your Stroke.  
  • Aphasia Discussions – Facilitated by Amy (President of the Port Macquarie Stroke Recovery Club), the group begins with a discussion about a chosen topic and is followed by some speech exercises as a group.  
  • Maitland Aphasia Online Group – The Maitland Aphasia Communication Group meet in a face to face capacity, and have opened their meetings up to anyone who would like to join online. These sessions are specifically for people who experience Aphasia and is a great way to practice speech in a supportive environment.
