The Stroke Recovery Association of B.C. hosts the Vancouver Stroke Recovery Education Day June 8 at 10: 30 a.m. on West Georgia Street, free of charge. It will take place in the Alma Van Dusen and Peter Kaye Room at the downtown branch of the Vancouver Public Library. Participants will learn ways to prevent strokes, find support and programs in their communities and to cope with life in the weeks, months and years after the hospital stay ends. They will also meet stroke survivors and caregivers to gain more knowledge, skills and information to help them through their journey after the stroke. Every year in B.C., 6,500 people suffer a stroke. Life changes dramatically in an instant. But there's hope - survivors can reclaim their lives with the help of medical specialists, family, friends and local support networks such as the Stroke Recovery Association of B.C.
