Did you know that kids can have strokes too?

Each year in Australia, up to 120 babies and 400 children experience a stroke. While stroke is often thought of as something that only affects older adults, it can happen at any age—and in children, it can be missed. The signs and symptoms can also look different in babies and children.

Childhood Stroke Awareness Week is a time to Learn, Share, and Support.

By coming together, we can improve recognition, treatment, and support for children affected by stroke and their families.
