Stroke
Recovery Association of BC (SRABC) is a non-profit organization. We have been offering
information and programs since 1979 for stroke survivors after they leave
hospital. We are committed to assisting stroke survivors and their caregivers
throughout the province to improve their overall quality of life. Our vision is
that every stroke survivor in BC has respect, inclusion, and support in their
home community.
Stroke Recovery Branches
SRABC has
around 30 local Stroke Recovery Branches across the province. Branches provide
a friendly place where stroke survivors, families, friends, and caregivers can
get encouragement, help and support. We offer a range of programs designed to
support stroke survivors in the community after they leave hospital. Branches
range in size from approximately 10 to 65 members. The programs on offer vary
depending on the resources available.
