About Course
This 2-hour training is aimed at the families and loved ones of a person who has had a stroke. After a stroke, personality may sometimes seem to change: uncontrollable crying, sudden anger, indifference, constant anxiety. These emotional upheavals are often experienced as a second injury by loved ones, who no longer recognize the person they loved. This training explains the neurological origin of these changes, helps families not to perceive them as a rejection or a failure, and provides concrete keys to navigate this ordeal without losing the connection.
