Help create a psychoeducation package for young survivors of stroke

Researchers from La Trobe University are co-designing an accessible, inclusive package of clinician-delivered education and other resources with information about the ‘invisible’ challenges experienced by young adult survivors of stroke, including mental health, fatigue and cognitive challenges. The aim of the psychoeducation package is to address and prevent psychological and cognitive challenges in young survivors of stroke.

Eligibility:

• Health professionals with at least 5 years of experience working with young survivors of stroke (aged between 18–45 years) with cognitive/psychosocial difficulties. You may have a background in psychology, social work, allied health or a related field.
• Living in Australia
  
  

Activity:

Two 90-minute focus groups over Zoom to contribute your perspectives on the content and delivery of the psychoeducation package.

1. The first focus group will involve discussing initial ideas about what to include in the psychoeducation package and how it should be delivered. This will take place between June–July 2024.
2. The second focus group will discuss the prototypes that have been developed by the research team. This will occur around September–October 2024.
