Two Great Magazines for Stroke Survivors

Please forgirve me if I insult your intelligence by stating the obvious, but I want to tell you about two great magazines for Stroke Survivors. 

Stroke Smart is a great magazine published by the National Stroke Associaton.  The subscription is a free one for United States residents.  Simply go to http://www.strokesmart.org/ and click on Subscribe. 

Stroke Connection is another great magazine published by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association.  Again, the subscription is free.  Go to http://www.strokeassociation.org/ and follow the instructions on how to Subscribe. 

Both magazines are filled with stroke survivor stories, tips for caregivers, product introductions, etc.  I find them to be very informative and helpful to stroke survivors and families.

I hope you find this helpful. 

Resources to Help Find a Support Group close to You

Many times help is closer than you may think.  If you are looking for an Aphasia Support Group and don't know where to find one I have a couple of suggestions.

Go to http://www.aphasia.org/aphasia_community/aphasia_community_groups.html.  This link is posted on the National Aphasia Associaton's website.  Look for your state and see if a chapter exists close to where you may live. 

Another idea is to visit http://www.stroke.org/site/PageServer?pagename=support_groups.  This link is for Stroke Support Groups which is different than an Aphasia support group.  But you may find these helpful as well. 

Local support groups are great.  I visit several in my local area throughout the year and they are great for survivors and caregivers.  Check them out.
