Introducing Members

Facilitator introduction (3 minutes)

Explain your role to the members.
Sharing a bit about your own experience with stroke and peer support helps members feel safe and connected.
This introduction might only be needed at the first meeting or when new members join.

Member introductions (1-2 minutes per person)

Introductions help members get to know each other, build trust, and feel comfortable.
Invite members to introduce themselves and talk a bit about who they are. They don’t have to share details about their stroke if they don’t want to.
Add fun questions, like asking about their favorite movie or hobby.
New members might feel nervous. Allow them to take part at their own pace and check in with them after the meeting.
