Check out some of the ways CHASA directly helps pediatric stroke survivors and their families
- CHASA National Family Retreat – Join us at our next retreat! Sign up for retreat updates
- Regional Family Retreats
- CHASA Retreat for Moms – Launched in 2019. We thought moms could use some in person support and friendship, but never dreamed attendance would be twice our expectations.
- Young Adult Retreat – Launched in 2017. CHASA hosts this social event for young adults with hemiplegia and their families. It’s a great place to meet others and make plans for your future!
- Let’s Play Scholarships – CHASA’s mission is to help children, teens and adults living with hemiplegia (from any cause) have a better life. We know that sometimes money is tight and you may not be able to afford the extras – like art class, theater, t-ball, gymnastics, dance, cooking, or whatever it is that makes your kid’s face light up. CHASA can help! This program began in 2017 and we’ve given out thousands of dollars to help kids play!
- Orthotic Grants – We pay for braces that help kids walk. How cool is that? Apply for a grant Donate to grant program
