STROKE RECOVERY PATHWAY
Your Path to Healing Starts Here.

At Stroke Buddies, we understand that recovery doesn’t follow a straight line—and it doesn’t end when the hospital stay does. That’s why we created the Stroke Recovery Pathway: a survivor-led framework that guides stroke survivors and caregivers through every phase of healing, connection, and growth.


Whether you're just beginning your journey or building momentum, this pathway helps you move forward with confidence, compassion, and community.


1. Recovery & Reconnection

Heal your body. Reclaim your rhythm.


This first stage is about safety, stability, and small wins. Survivors reconnect with their bodies, build daily routines, and gain confidence.


You’ll access:

  • Free, at-home recovery exercise videos
  • Stroke Roadmap video series with survivor-led insights
  • Weekly mental wellness support calls via Zoom
  • Tools for navigating everyday life after stroke

💡 You are not broken—you are rebuilding.


2. Education & Empowerment

Understand your brain. Take charge of your healing.


We believe knowledge is power. In this phase, you learn how your brain heals—and how to advocate for your own recovery.


What’s included:

  • Recovery & Science interviews with therapists, neurologists, and rehab specialists
  • Nutrition, sleep, mindfulness, and self-care guidance
  • Peer-recommended tips from survivors and caregivers
  • The upcoming AI Stroke Assistant for personalized, 24/7 support

3. Community Building & Leadership

Find your people. Give and receive support.


This phase is where connection deepens. Survivors and caregivers become part of something larger—and many discover their own leadership.


Opportunities include:

  • Join our Facebook group
  • Participate in live wellness calls and events
  • Get paired with a stroke buddy or mentor
  • Lead or moderate support groups

💡 Healing multiplies when we heal together.


4. Advocacy & Awareness

Your story matters—and it can spark change.


As confidence grows, many in our community feel called to give back. In this phase, you use your voice to inspire and advocate.


You can:

  • Share your recovery journey in our blog or podcast
  • Speak at events or help train new volunteers
  • Participate in awareness campaigns and fundraising efforts
  • Advocate for better post-stroke care in your community

💡 Your voice is part of someone else’s recovery.


5. Sustainability & Growth

Keep growing. Keep giving. Keep going.


The final phase is about thriving long-term. Here, survivors continue living purposefully—with tools, roles, and a community that grows with them.


What this includes:

  • Long-term leadership and mentoring opportunities
  • Access to evolving tech tools like the AI assistant and private social platform
  • Involvement in Stroke Buddies’ global vision and strategic direction
  • Supporting others through your wisdom and presence

💡 Recovery isn’t a destination—it’s a lifestyle of growth.
