LIGHTS MIRRORS ACTION coming to a LIBRARY near you‼️ BUNCRANA LIBRARY - Next Wednesday 16th September at 6.30pm

Self-care after a #stroke looks different for all survivors. One focus of Stroke Onward is to assist #survivors in establishing a way to care for their mental health. Physical recovery is essential - but so is the Emotional Journey.

How well you recover from a stroke depends on a variety of reasons. These include the amount of damage to your brain cells and where in the brain the stroke took place. Rehabilitation can start 24 hours after a stroke. To read more about treatment, visit: bit.ly/3lja6MX

Happy Friday friends. You are a masterpiece. Never doubt yourself. Stay optimistic. Keep pressing forward. Have a phenomenal day. #BrainAttack
