Pediatric Stroke Network Welcome to PSN! The goal of this site is to bring together friends and families of infant or childhood stroke survivors from around the world. Because childhood stroke is relatively uncommon, but steadily on the rise, finding other parents to connect with can often be difficult.

Finding parents who have children that have experienced the same life long effects can also be frustrating. PSN is dedicated to helping parents and families cope and move forward in their lives. PSN is also the first support group for infant, pediatric and childhood stroke registered with the American Heart Association. I must stress that parent and family involvement is the key. Website
