The Stroke Comeback Center - supports during Covid-19

The Stroke Comeback Center is a community of survivors of stroke and other brain
trauma committed to living successful and productive lives. It is a non-profit organization that offers support along the slow road to better. Its members, professionals, volunteers, coaches, and families know that recovery continues forever.

The Center:
  • Provides programs and classes for survivors with aphasia and other communication difficulties using a social approach
  • Focuses on all aspects of recovery: speech, reading, writing and comprehension, cognition and fitness
  • Uses interactive technologies tailored to each of our members
  • Continues to provide affordable fees through donor-funded scholarships
  • Has received national recognition for our accomplishments and innovation
  • Believes that all survivors deserve the respect and the support needed to live successfully and participate fully in life

An initial Intake Meeting is required before joining our community. See the Programs Overview page of our website for details. See the Center in action at a nationally aired segment: Stroke Comeback Center at PBS. Listen to our podcast “Slow Road to Better” here

The Stroke Comeback Center now offered virtual classes and support groups. Virtual classes are a way for survivors to have face-to-face communication with others without leaving home. Research has proven that although different, it is an effective way to work on skills.

How do Virtual Classes work?Members participate in a video conference through free software called Zoom. Most classes will be limited to 6 participants, just like their traditional classes. You can see and hear everyone else in the class.
