Supporting First Nations communities through stroke recovery
A new resource to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people live well after stroke, has been launched as part of National Stroke Week (Aug 2 – 8).
Our Stroke Journey has been developed by Stroke Foundation with the support of survivors of stroke and their families, health professionals, stroke researchers, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations.
It is an important resource because Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are twice as likely to be hospitalised with stroke than non-indigenous Australians and are likely to have strokes at a much younger age.
Our Stroke Journey provides information to empower Indigenous Australians through their treatment and care and improve the recovery journey and outcomes.
