You Are Not Alone on Your Heart or Stroke Journey

Living with heart disease or adjusting after a heart event or stroke can bring many emotions — hope, worry, determination, and sometimes uncertainty. Caregivers may experience their own mix of rewards and exhaustion. No matter where you are on this journey, you deserve support that meets you with compassion and understanding.

The American Heart Association’s Support Network is here to walk alongside you. This free, private online community connects patients, survivors, and caregivers with people who truly understand what you’re going through. Members share stories, ask questions, and offer encouragement rooted in lived experience.

Inside the Support Network, you’ll find peer discussion groups, videos, trusted educational resources, and digital tools that support both emotional well‑being and physical recovery.

Whether you’re just beginning, years into your journey, or caring for someone you love, there’s a place for you here. Healing takes time and you don’t have to navigate it on your own.
