If you think you may be suffering a stroke or TIA, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
Barrow Neurological Institute offers a variety of support groups to assist individuals and their families with neurological disorders.
A neurological disorder or injury often presents many challenges including stress, fear of the unknown, loss of control, and communication difficulties. Support and education can offer tremendous assistance for both patients and family. Sharing with others in similar situations can provide valuable resources and support to help individuals cope with disorders or injuries and to deal with questions and concerns.
Prayer for Strength After a Stroke
Have mercy, O loving God,
upon all who have suffered a stroke.
Remove the sudden fear that befalls them.
Endow them with courage in the struggle
to recover what has been lost.
Grant them strength and hope
to envision new days ahead
and a spirit of faith
to take the risk of living fully
once again.
~Amen
