I work closely with stroke survivors, their families and carers by providing them with emotional support and information to help them to come to thems with life after stroke. I guide them to access the benefits they are entitled to and direct them towards other services that can meet their needs and help them achieve their goals. As a result of my own experience I am able to relate to how they are feeling and can help the families to understand what their loved ones are going through and what they can do to support them.
