    Description

    In-Person Peer Support Group Facilitator - Sydney, NS

    March of Dimes Canada's "Stroke Community Conversation" peer support groups provide survivors, caregivers, and their families with emotional support, encouragement, education resource information, and a sense of community after hospital discharge. The groups are safe spaces where individuals come together and share experiences, information and coping strategies.

    The In-Person Peer Support Group Facilitator plays a key role in leading monthly, small-group discussions that offer connection, guidance, and encouragement. By helping to guide conversations and foster a welcoming, empathetic space, the facilitator supports stroke survivors and caregivers in building community and sharing experiences. Our "Stroke Community Conversation" group in Sydney, NS is well-established and has been meeting since September 2024.
