Guest Speaker Janet Weir, Stroke Foundation

 Staying Stroke Safe, strategies for you and your loved ones

The Stroke Foundation in Australia is a non-profit organization committed to combating stroke through awareness campaigns, support services, advocacy for policy improvements, and funding research projects. Their multifaceted approach addresses prevention, timely intervention, and survivor support. The StrokeSafe program, led by dedicated volunteers, plays a crucial role in community education about stroke prevention and recognition.

One of the 160 strong dedicated volunteers is, the passionate Janet Weir who is on a mission to spread awareness about the signs of stroke to hundreds of fellow South Australians. Janet is committed to educating Australians about stroke awareness and prevention. The Adelaide Rotary Club is in for a treat as Janet encourages us to recognise the signs, act swiftly, and spread the word.

A key aspect of Janet’s StrokeSafe talks involves teaching the community how to identify common stroke signs using the F.A.S.T. test:

• Face – Check for a drooping mouth.
• Arms – Can they lift both arms?
• Speech – Is their speech slurred? Do they comprehend?
• Time – Time is of the essence. If you spot these signs, dial triple zero (000) immediately.

Adelaide stands united in the fight against stroke, armed with knowledge and a commitment to saving lives.
