American Stroke Association provides stroke resource library, support groups, StrokeSmart magazine, stroke helpline, and newsletters, and raises awareness of stokes. We also offer a Stroke Family Warmline. The Stroke Family Warmline connects stroke survivors, their families, and caregivers with an American Stroke Association team member who can provide support, helpful information, or just a listening ear. Because our trained stroke specialists are always helping callers, so they might not be available to speak with you immediately. But don’t worry! A stroke specialist will call you back as soon as possible.
