The current weather has us reminiscing about bette The current weather has us reminiscing about better winters. 😔☃️

While this winter might not be our "normal" festive season where activities like this will be fully accessible, it is important as survivors to keep checking in on your mental health during the colder times. According to the American Stroke Association,  20% of stroke survivors already suffer from anxiety following a stroke and in many cases, the winter months can exacerbate these symptoms with lack of sunlight and colder weather.

With even more lack of activity and festivity these next few months thanks to the pandemic, please make sure to talk to someone and lean on your support system if you are suffering from anxiety. And if you can't figure out who to reach out to, reach out to us at Life After Stroke and we can push you towards the right resources. We're all in this together! 💪🏽
