Life After Stroke

Life After Stroke (LAS) is a Canadian non-profit organization that creates a positive and supportive environment to assist young brain injury survivors (YBIS) as they move forward with their lives. YBIS often face a tremendous uphill battle and adjustment period to find a new normal given their recent physical, mental, and psychological challenges.

After founder & chairman, Sajeevan (Saj) Eswarakumar survived a stroke at age 27, he experienced first-hand the learning curve that came with being a YBIS. What started as a personal blog for Saj to chronicle the difficult recovery journey as a young stroke survivor, ultimately evolved into a safe space for other survivors to share their experiences—after he witnessed the profound impact of telling his own story.

Now, Life After Stroke is a platform for young brain injury survivors to build relationships, exchange resources and support each other in overcoming obstacles in their journey to recovery.
