Stroke Association statement on partnering with Emilia Clarke and SameYou

SameYou is partnering with The Stroke Association to understand and report on the unmet needs of young adults living with brain injury and stroke. SameYou's goal is to work with healthcare leaders and charities to prioritise and improve neuro recovery care for young adults after brain injury and stroke.

Juliet Bouverie, Chief Executive of the Stroke Association UK said: “A stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It can strike anyone at any time and when stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you.

“Rebuilding lives after stroke is a team effort. It takes the determination of stroke survivors and carers, the generosity of supporters and the dedication of the healthcare and research communities. That’s why we’re delighted to be partnering with Emilia Clarke and SameYou to raise awareness of stroke in younger adults and to tackle the stigma attached to stroke by sharing Emilia’s personal experience.”
