Welcome To Hatchlings!

Service Name: Hatchlings of Hope.

Peer Support for Parent Stroke Survivors

A compassionate, peer-led support community where stroke survivor parents can connect, share insights, and uplift each other through the journey of parenting after stroke. Embodying the themes of “Hatchlings”
(growth and new beginnings) and “Steady Eddie” (resilience and patience), the service provides a safe space rooted in shared lived experiences.

Core Features:
Lived Experience Mentorship:
Parents who have survived a stroke and are parenting offer one-on-one support to others in similar circumstances. Mentors share their personal stories, coping strategies, and encouragement.

Peer Support Circles “Hatchling Huddles”
are informal group chats, virtual or in person, where parents exchange stories, challenges, and successes related to their stroke recovery and parenting journey.
inspired by Eddie the tortoise’s steady pace.

What are Hatchlings?

A baby tortoise is called a hatchling. It uses its egg tooth to break the shell of the egg and emerge. Hatchlings are very vulnerable for the first few days of life, and rely on the embryonic sac for nutrition until they are strong enough to find food.

We are absolutely thrilled to introduce a brand-new, bespoke service that simply didn’t exist – until now. Building on from our wonderful trademarked mascot “Steady Eddie”™, his very own little Hatchling is here to help.

“Hatchlings” was established as the brain wave of one of our team, it’s a counselling service aimed at the younger generation, children who have suffered a stroke or even been impacted by Stroke, therefore a family member, a son, a daughter, a granddaughter or grandson or even a cousin. How good would it be if they could reach out to a member of our team who truly understands and truly knows the daily hurdles that a family have to face?

Would you like to find out more? In complete confidence, please reach out to Hatchlings@strokeinformation.co.uk where one of our DBS approved team will get back to you to see how we can help.

This service is completely FREE and there is nothing better than lived experience to assist you.
