The Cerebrum organization was founded in 2007 by a person with his (her) own experience of brain damage. Our main objective is to raise public awareness of the challenges facing stroke victims and inform about the many consequences that follow a brain injury and the possibilities for rehabilitation. We provide advice in this area and a guide to the services provided to people after brain injury. We also perform our own therapeutic activities in the home environment. In our team is a psychologist, an occupational therapist, a speech therapist and physiotherapist. Our clients are mainly people after a stroke and those with debilitating effects from a severe injury or as a result of treatment for malignant disease. We also try to provide help and advice to the injury survivors’ family, carers and relatives.
At present there are very limited possibilities of specialized and comprehensive rehabilitation in the Czech Republic. Cerebrum responds to this situation and seeks to create a system of aftercare with the scope and amount allowed by current grants and funds. By joining an international project Stroke My Way, we have another opportunity to bridge a stroke survivor from therapeutic rehabilitation to a more normal life through sporting activities.
The Croatian Stroke Society was founded in 1997 with the aim to increase public awareness about stroke prevention based on the latest knowledge in medical science, and to improve the early diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of stroke patients according to the most recent clinical guidelines and state of the art interventions. The goal is to improve primary, secondary and tertiary stroke prevention through an interdisciplinary approach, encouraging collaboration of medical, sports and nutrition professionals, patients and their families, as well as the general population.
One of the activities of the society is the promotion of public health education for the population through mass media, with an emphasis on the importance of early detection of risk factors responsible for the occurrence of stroke and particularly the possibility of their prevention.
The Society encourages continuous work of its members on the advancement in the practical approach of stroke prevention and rehabilitation, and organization of professional and patient meetings, seminars and consultations. The society also organizes regular, but also additional periodic lectures and preventive public health actions, such as the ones for the World Stroke Day. One of the missions of the society is also to prevent the recurrence of stroke caused by atrial fibrillation and to involve the public and high-risk groups in population-based prevention programs. The Society also published manuals and broshures for stroke patients in collaboration with SAFE (Stroke Alliance for Europe). Raising stroke awareness in Croatia, by creating a healthier and a more aware society is the ultimate objective of the Croatian Stroke Society.
