Stroke Support Groups

A stroke can often be overwhelming, challenging and stressful. It is important to have the opportunity to get connected to others who are experiencing similar obstacles and questions. The staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and other peer stroke survivors are there for you with insights, guidance and help. Additionally, special educational speakers and activities are often planned for the support groups throughout the year. Caregivers and family members are always welcome.
