Selbsthilfegruppe Schlaganfall

Selbsthilfegruppe Schlaganfall Bad Hersfeld e.V. is a local self-help organization supporting people affected by stroke and their relatives. It provides a welcoming setting to share experiences, find practical information, and connect with others navigating life after a stroke. The group’s resources cover different aspects of stroke, including mild and severe strokes, personal accounts, rehabilitation, and the challenges of returning to everyday life. Its activities include regular meetings, advice and support, and information about upcoming events and services.

Working with Klinikum Bad Hersfeld, the group helps raise awareness of stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery. Its public events have included an information morning on participation and rehabilitation, a health-awareness bus visit offering risk checks and demonstrations of blood pressure and blood sugar measurements, and a cinema event featuring a short presentation on current trends in stroke treatment. The group also shares information about the clinic’s neurogymnastics course for people recovering from stroke or other neurological conditions. Through peer support and community education, it encourages informed, active engagement with life after stroke.
