Post Stroke is a nonprofit founded by Elyse Newland, an Occupational Therapist, after her grandmother had a mini-stroke and received less than stellar care. Elyse embedded herself in the stroke survivor community and discovered that her family's experience was not uncommon.
Due to the growing number of stroke survivors with little to no support, Elyse began creating free and accessible stroke recovery education on sites that survivors already use. She realized people want to learn how to get better without sifting through jargon-filled handouts or hard-to-navigate medical websites.
Post Stroke is on a mission to make high-quality stroke recovery information accessible to everyone!

Here's what I've learned: the word "recovery" is actually doing more harm than good. Doctors use it like we just had a cold or broke a bone, as if our brain will magically fix itself. It doesn't. After meeting hundreds of stroke survivors, I've seen how that word leaves so many of us feeling like failures when our lives don't snap back to normal. That's why I am building Stroke TV Media Network . We don't talk about recovery anymore. We talk about rebuilding life after stroke . Recovery is a noun, it just sits there and waits. Rebuilding is a verb. It takes effort, mindset , and action. And with the right eff...
