Life after stroke events

We offer a range of life after stroke (LAS) workshops, presentations and education sessions for people affected by stroke.

LAS Blenheim event

A stroke can result in a major life change for stroke survivors and their whānau.

Our workshops connect you with others in your community affected by stroke to learn about life after stroke, including how to reduce the risk of secondary stroke and how to manage the impact stroke has on you and the ones you love.
