Childhood stroke is often a difficult maze to navigate.
Childhood Stroke
Without effective support and guidance, parents and children can find it hard to find the information and help they need. This leaflet is a brief introduction to some of the issues children with sickle cell face in relation to stroke.
Not all the issues can be covered here, but at the end of this leaflet, you will find a list of organisations that can help answer other questions you may have.
We hope this leaflet will help you understand some of the complex needs of children with sickle cell and stroke and help you to get the support necessary in providing the best care for your child.
