Family People talkingand Carer Support Service

Family and Carer Support is a visiting service that gives practical information and emotional support to the families and carers of people who have had a stroke. We help families prepare for the changes that inevitably happen because of a stroke, and make sure they are able to cope - both physically and emotionally. The service can also help people who live alone.

Family and Carer Support Coordinators can put people in touch with Carers Groups, Young Stroke Groups and stroke clubs in the East Midlands. See below for contact details of East Midlands Services.
