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! 💙

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

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!

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that singing can be a powerful, evidence-based tool for recovering speech after a stroke with aphasia?

This approach is called Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT), and it works by leveraging a fascinating fact about our brains: while speaking is primarily controlled by the left hemisphere (often damaged in aphasia), singing engages both hemispheres, including musical and rhythmic centers in the right side.

By turning simple, everyday phrases into melodic patterns, MIT helps individuals access words through song that they struggle to produce in normal speech. It’s not about performing—it’s about using rhythm, melody, and repetition to rebuild neural pathways for language.

So the next time you hear someone singing their words, remember: they might just be doing some of the most innovative speech therapy there is. Music isn’t just good for the soul, it can be medicine for the brain. Share this note of hope! 🎶

We are thrilled to share more details about the FAME (Fitness and Mobility Exercise) program, a research-backed initiative designed to support stroke recovery and neurofitness. FAME promotes wellness through safe, repetitive, and motivating movement. This wonderful program is made possible through a partnership between the Delta Stroke Recovery Society (DSRS), UBC, KinVillage Community Centre, and Active Enabled Fitness.

To learn all about it, please join us for an information session on Wednesday, January 14 at 1:00 PM at the KinVillage Community Centre in Tsawwassen. It’s the perfect opportunity to understand what the program involves, meet the team, and express your interest in being assessed for participation.

We now have the full schedule and cost details to share. The classes will begin on January 21 and run until mid-March, held twice weekly on Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:00 to 2:00 PM. The program fee for the semester is $217 per person. Spaces are intentionally kept limited to ensure a supportive environment, and priority will be given to stroke survivors. This session is a great first step to discovering if FAME is the right fit for you or a loved one. We hope to see you there and share more about this impactful opportunity.

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Welcome to a brand new year!

As we all think about goals and fresh starts, here’s a gentle reminder for anyone on a recovery journey, whether from a stroke, aphasia, or any other challenge:
True progress isn’t always dramatic. In fact, recovery is often built through small, consistent steps that happen day by day, not just on milestone dates.

🏆 What counts as a “win”? • Trying a new communication strategy • Staying in a conversation a little longer • Reading a few lines of a favorite book • Writing a text message independently • Simply showing up and trying again

Each of these efforts actively engages your brain’s neuroplasticity, helping it rewire and strengthen over time. So this year, let’s shift the focus from big resolutions to meaningful moments of progress. Here’s to a year of patience, courage, and celebrating every step forward—no matter how small. Share this to spread a little hope and perspective for 2024! ✨

Happy New Year from DSRS! 🎉

Reminder: Both our South Delta (Tuesdays) and North Delta (Wednesdays) programs will resume the week of January 5, 2026.

We’re looking forward to reconnecting and starting the new year together. See you soon! 💙
