You are not alone.
There are other young people who have experienced a stroke and have similar feelings.
Connect with people who just "get it."
Young Stroke is an initiative of Stroke Foundation and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services.
This website was created with lived experts and the Lived Experience Working Group. We acknowledge the individual and collective expertise of those with a living or lived experience of stroke. We recognise their vital contribution at all levels. We value the courage of those who share this unique perspective to achieve better outcomes for all.
Our StrokeLine health professionals can help you find the support and services you need.
StrokeLine is free and anyone can call.
StrokeLine is available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, AEST.
(Closed on Australian national public holidays.)
