and media messages, PSA educates the public about stroke, stroke prevention, and
stroke warning signs, emphasizing the critical need to take symptoms seriously and to
seek immediate emergency treatment.

Trained professional volunteers and staff lead monthly support groups that provide critical information, compassion and
comfort. PSA support groups bring together those affected by stroke to share experiences as they make progress and gain
confidence. The groups also provide opportunities to find encouragement and practical help in the different aspects of
post-stroke recovery.
Each support group has a different characteristic. Some of them serve women or men who have had a stroke; some are
educational while others are open discussions for stroke survivors and caregivers. The groups meet at different days, times
and locations throughout San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. Click here to see a list of our current groups. To see PSA's

This program brings trained stroke survivors back to the hospital to visit newly admitted stroke survivors. PSA volunteers
provide a warm smile and an empathetic ear. They provide testimony to the possibilities of overcoming the emotional and
physical impact of stroke. Equally important, volunteers share information about resources in the community that are
available to rebuild lives after stroke. If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Peer Visitor please contact PSA at
support@psastroke.org or at (650) 565-8485.
