The Young Stroke Service helps young adults aged 18 to 55 who have had a stroke.
We are in Victoria and South Australia and hope to be in more parts of Australia soon.
You can call us over the phone or visit us at our clinic. Soon, we will also have a digital platform to offer our services.
We know a lot about stroke in young people, but there is still more to learn.
Unfortunately, stroke is often misdiagnosed in people aged 18 to 55. Young stroke survivors say health services do not always cater to their needs.
The Young Stroke Service connects stroke survivors, their families, clinicians and researchers.
This will helps us understand the cause and lifelong effects of stroke in young people to further improve health services.
At the Young Stroke Service, we are constantly evaluating how we provide services.
Our advisory groups include young people with stroke, their supporters, clinicians, researchers, and other stroke advocates.
