Stroke Survivor & Caregiver Community
A room where you don’t have to explain the basics
Most people in the Recovery Gap are not short of information. They are short of other people who already understand.
Community Video Calls
We are putting together recurring calls for stroke survivors and caregivers.
One hour. Online. Free.
No curriculum and no pressure to perform recovery – mostly a place to be around people who don't need the situation explained from the beginning.
For survivors, it is a place for stroke survivor support built around shared experience. For caregivers, family members and friends, it is a place to be part of the conversation too.
The calls are planned to begin in October 2026.
We would rather tell you that plainly than put “coming soon” on a page and leave you checking.
If you would like to know when the first one is scheduled, leave us a way to reach you.
Tell Me When the Calls Start
We will use this to tell you when the first call is scheduled, and nothing else. No newsletter, and we will not pass it on.
Talk One-to-One With a Fellow Stroke Survivor
Jake speaks one to one with stroke survivors.
Usually it is orientation more than anything else: what this stretch of stroke recovery tends to be like, what questions are worth asking your own care team, and what else is out there that might be worth knowing about.
A PSI 1:1 conversation is survivor-to-survivor orientation, education and support.
It is not medical care and it is not, by itself, a natural-medicine facilitation relationship. PSI does not diagnose, prescribe, recommend what someone should take, or provide or source substances. Medical and treatment decisions belong with the appropriate licensed healthcare professionals.
His time is limited, and it is the main reason the community calls exist – a good conversation should not depend on one person's calendar.
Ask anyway; he would rather hear from you and be slow than have you not ask.
Request a 1:1 Conversation
Jake reads these himself. He answers when he can, and sometimes that takes a while – it is one person's calendar, not a service desk.
For Caregivers, Family & Friends
Caregiver support after stroke can be difficult to find, especially once the immediate crisis has passed.
You are welcome in the community calls whether you are a partner, parent, adult child, family member or friend.
You do not have to be the person who had the stroke to need a room where the basics are already understood.
