Our Stroke Journey
Our Stroke Journey is a booklet for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Our Stroke Journey covers everything people need to know about life after a stroke. It includes stories from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander survivors of stroke, families, and health workers.
Our Stroke Journey answers these questions:
- What is a stroke?
- How will stroke change me?
- How do I look after my health?
- How do I get ready to go home?
- How do I sort things out once I'm at home?
