Life After Stroke

Recovery doesn't end when you leave the hospital.

Life after stroke can bring a lot of change—for the person who had the stroke and for the people who love them. Recovery may include therapy, new routines, questions about work or driving, emotional changes, caregiving, or simply figuring out what life looks like now.

There is no single timeline for stroke recovery. Some changes happen quickly. Others take time. Wherever you are in your stroke journey, you do not have to figure it all out at once.

The Nebraska Stroke Association is here to help you find information, support, and connection for what comes next.

Stroke Education & Community Outreach

Teaching Nebraska to recognize stroke before it happens.

NSA brings stroke education into communities through presentations, events, partnerships, and awareness campaigns. We teach B.E. F.A.S.T., help people understand stroke warning signs and risk factors, and provide educational materials for hospitals, schools, workplaces, nursing homes, and community organizations

Nebraska Stroke Resource Map

Finding help shouldn’t feel like another full-time job.

Our Resource Map helps survivors and families find rehabilitation, therapy, support services, and other stroke-related resources in communities across Nebraska.

Retreat & Refresh Stroke Camp

A weekend to reconnect, recharge, and just be together.

Stroke Camp gives stroke survivors and their loved ones a chance to step away from appointments and everyday routines and spend time with people who truly understand. 

The weekend is centered around connection, encouragement, activities, laughter, and building relationships with other survivors and caregivers.

Support Groups 

Sometimes you just need someone who understands.

NSA helps stroke survivors and caregivers find support groups throughout Nebraska. Whether someone is newly home from the hospital, or years into recovery, connecting with others who have walked a similar road can make a big difference.

Barkley Speech Language & Hearing Clinic

We partner with Barkley by Helping survivors find new ways to communicate and connect.

Stroke can affect much more than movement. It can change someone’s ability to speak, understand language, remember words, or communicate the way they once did.

Through our connection with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Barkley Speech Language and Hearing Clinic, survivors can learn about speech and language services and programs supporting people with aphasia and other communication challenges after neurological injury. The Barkley Clinic provides speech and language evaluation and intervention and offers specialty programming such as Aphasia Community Partners.

Not sure what you need?

That’s okay.

Tell us where you are in the stroke journey, and we’ll help you find a place to start.

Every stroke journey deserves hope, support, and connection. No one should face it alone.
