Health care providers from Baptist Health-Fort Smith and Baptist Health Neuroscience Center-Fort Smith will host monthly support group meetings for stroke survivors and their caregivers in 2025.
Each month will feature a different topic related to stroke or poststroke care to give those who have been personally affected by stroke or are interested in the topic the chance to learn more.
In January, Crystal Lougin, LPC, director of behavioral health at Baptist Health-Fort Smith, will discuss seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that typically occurs in the winter, caregiver burnout and ways to manage the symptoms.
The meeting will be held Friday, Jan. 17, at 9 a.m. in the Baptist Health Classroom on the first floor of Baptist Health-Fort Smith. These meetings are open to all members of the community, not just Baptist Health patients. Use the link to join virtually: Baptist-Health. co/BHFSStroke.
