Linking Survivors with Survivors is a volunteer driven project connecting new stroke survivors with individuals who have already made successful recoveries from stroke.
Through hospital visits, community involvement and peer support groups, new stroke survivors benefit from mentorship and gain a better understanding about their own path of stroke recovery.
Linking Survivors with Survivors is a joint initiative of the following Stroke Recovery Canada Chapters/Associations: Kitchener Waterloo, North Wellington, Guelph Wellington, and Cambridge and District, in partnership with Grand River Hospital Stroke Centre and South Regional Stroke Network. It is funded through the Waterloo-Wellington Local Health Integration Network.
