Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Research suggests that participating in meaningful leisure activities can support cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life after stroke.

Engaging in hobbies — whether it’s art, music, puzzles, gardening, reading, or group games — stimulates different areas of the brain. Studies have linked regular participation in enjoyable activities with improved mood, increased motivation, and reduced risk of depression after stroke.

Just as importantly, hobbies help reinforce identity and purpose, something that can be deeply meaningful during recovery. At DSRS, we believe recovery isn’t only about structured exercise. It’s also about staying curious, staying connected, and continuing the activities that bring joy and confidence.

Because brain health isn’t just built in therapy — it’s built in everyday life 💙

Last week, we shared that something new is on the way. The clues continue…

This week’s post holds another hint. Take a closer look — you might notice it.

We can’t wait to share more with you soon. 💙

Last week at our North Delta program, we enjoyed some festive Lunar New Year–themed activities together! It was a wonderful way to celebrate culture, community, and new beginnings.

We love taking opportunities to learn about and celebrate traditions from around the world with our members. Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a joyful morning!

Wishing health, happiness, and good fortune in the year ahead 🧧✨

Did you know that positive connection and feelings of love can trigger the release of helpful brain chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin?

These “feel-good” chemicals are associated with bonding, motivation, and mood regulation — and they can also help reduce stress. Lower stress levels are important after stroke, as stress can impact both emotional well-being and cognitive recovery.

While love isn’t a treatment, supportive relationships, laughter, and feeling connected can play a meaningful role in overall brain health. Whether it’s a partner, a friend, a caregiver, or a community group like DSRS — connection matters.

This Valentine’s season, we’re celebrating the power of support, encouragement, and community. 💙💕

Something new is on the way 👀

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing something new that reflects who we are today — the people, the community, and the heart behind DSRS.

We can’t say much just yet… but we’re excited to share it with you soon. 💙
 Stay tuned…

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Self-care after stroke isn’t just about rest, it also includes gentle, regular movement at home. Practicing simple mobility activities can help support strength, confidence, and independence in daily life.

Group programs like those at DSRS can provide ideas, encouragement, and motivation that carry over beyond our sessions and into everyday routines at home. Small, consistent efforts. whether done independently or inspired by group activities, can make a meaningful difference.

Because taking care of yourself looks different for everyone, and every bit counts!

02/03/2026

Last week, our groups took part in a friendly challenge to see who could count the most passes in two minutes and there were plenty of laughs along the way.

Practicing mobility doesn’t have to feel like “exercise.” When it’s done with friends, encouragement, and a bit of friendly competition, it becomes something to look forward to.

Activities like these help support movement, coordination, and confidence — all while strengthening connection within the group. Because recovery is better when we move together! 💙

Did you know?

Social connection is an important part of stroke recovery — and it’s at the heart of what we do at DSRS. Participating in group programs, sharing conversation, and spending time with others who understand the journey can support emotional well-being, build confidence, and reduce feelings of isolation after stroke.

At DSRS, our programs are about more than activities — they’re about connection, encouragement, and community. Because recovery is stronger when it’s shared. 💙

We loved capturing these moments from our FAME (Fitness and Mobility Exercise) program 💪💙

FAME is a research-based exercise program designed specifically for people recovering from stroke. The program focuses on improving strength, balance, mobility, and confidence, all within a supportive group environment.

We’re proud to offer FAME through a partnership between Delta Stroke Recovery Society, , , and UBC, bringing evidence-based stroke recovery programs into our community.

Programs like FAME highlight what’s possible when organizations come together to support recovery, independence, and quality of life after stroke.

Thank you to everyone who makes this program possible — and to our participants for showing up, working hard, and encouraging one another each week.

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that aphasia isn’t just about words? It can also affect a person’s ability to work with numbers and do calculations—a challenge sometimes referred to as acalculia.

This means everyday tasks like:

* Reading a clock or calendar 
* Managing money and reading prices 
* Calculating a tip or making change 
* Following numbered instructions 
…can become surprisingly difficult, even if the person’s general intelligence is fully intact. It’s a common but often overlooked part of the aphasia experience.

Understanding this helps us provide better, more holistic support—whether that means offering a calculator, using visual aids for time, or just giving a little extra patience at the checkout.
Communication isn’t just verbal. Share this fact to help build broader awareness!

We were grateful to welcome Sol Rodriguez of , a Delta-based company, as a guest speaker at our program this week 💙

Sol shared valuable insights on navigating the Fraser Health healthcare system, a timely topic, especially as our healthcare system continues to feel increasingly stretched. Staying informed about how to access care and services can make a real difference for stroke survivors and their families.

Just as important is sharing this information, with friends, caregivers, and loved ones, so no one has to navigate the system alone.

Thank you, Sol, for helping our community feel more informed, empowered, and supported.

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that using gestures isn’t just a helpful backup when words are hard to find, it’s actually a research-backed strategy that supports aphasia recovery?

Gestures—like pointing, miming an action, or using a common sign—can help bridge the gap when the language centers of the brain are affected by a stroke. They activate different neural pathways, allowing meaning to be shared even when speech is slow or blocked.

Even better, studies suggest that regularly using gestures alongside speech can actually help strengthen word retrieval and language recall over time. So the next time you’re communicating with someone with aphasia, don’t hesitate to use your hands—it’s not a last resort, it’s a smart and supportive tool.

A simple gesture can speak volumes!
