EPISODE TITLE:  Empowering Recovery with Survivor, Angela Wingfield, PTA

 

INTRO - ANGELA: So, I try, and what I hope I’ve done with stroke survivors and caregivers and this is what I want for medical professionals who are working with neurological patients to realize...you can...you can, over a period of time set them up to where they’re using neuroplasticity for their physical and mental health; they are...the caregiver is asking for assistance...accepting any assistance that comes along the way...if you’re teaching them this early on...they’re learning how to communicate with each other better, the stroke survivor and their care partners in their life, and you’re teaching them skills to where...I have a lot of survivors they’re still coming to the group seven, eight, ten years later but they’re doing it mainly so they can help other people...they want to help the new ones that are coming in
