Family Resource Pack
When Mum or Dad has a stroke, what do you tell the children?
This resource pack was developed with the help of children who have a parent who has had a stroke. Available in different formats to cover the whole age range from toddler to teenager, it explains to children what is happening when their mum or dad suddenly has a stroke. This can be an incredibly scary time for children and the booklets can be used as a starting point for some of those difficult conversations and to support children through the whole experience.
These resources can be ordered as a complete pack or as individual leaflets:
- 1 Prompt poster to display on the ward
- 2 Books (one for Mum being affected and one for Dad) with fold out pages and activities for younger children
- 2 Comics (one for Mum being affected and one for Dad) for older children
- 1 Magazine article for teens and preteens
