Chris Moon was just 29, fit and healthy, when he suffered a stroke. But despite being upbeat at the start of his battle back to full health, he quickly found the aftercare is seriously inadequate for young stroke survivors – which is often seen as a disease of the elderly. From poor support for help with mental health issues and returning to work, to limited access to speech therapy after experiencing crippling challenges socialising with friends, to a lack of couples therapy which spelled the end of his ten-year marriage to Hannah, Chris says they were left to navigate the major hurdles alone. 📢 Join the conversation: How can we better support young stroke survivors?

💡On this #WorldStrokeDay we are excited to share an innovative project that we helped to fund in 2020, which we believe more survivors could benefit from if implemented in their communities. We would like to invite healthcare professionals to add their name to our form to help expand access to rehabilitation programme, Neurorehabilitation Online. It is our aim that more health professionals deliver - and more survivors receive - the cognitive and physical support needed for continued recovery once a patient returns home.
