About Us

Stroke survivors between the ages of 15 and 35 may be tackling the issue of coping with study, the beginning of a career or a young family and an inability to pursue active interests such as sports or travel. Often our friends and family find it difficult to understand or empathise with lengthy periods of incapacity, hospitalization and rehabilitation and ongoing physical limitations.

We may have issues with acknowledging that a stroke can happen to someone so young together the helplessness caused by such a catastrophic event.

The issues faced by someone who has had a stroke at aged 25 are quite different to those of someone who is 60.

Different Strokes-Young Acquired Brain Injury was set up to address this point of difference.
