For some, the very thought of a child having a stroke is new. Most often we associate stroke with adults, so its usually a challenge to understand that a stroke happens among children of all ages.
For hundreds of families each year, this diagnosis becomes a reality. With limited information and resources about stroke in children many of these same families will take to the internet to find information on what to expect and how best to support their child after stroke.

Pediatric Stroke Warriors believes in the importance of being inclusive and sharing all the organizations, programs and/or sound resources that currently exist to make a difference in supporting children and their families impacted by pediatric stroke.
