Books and Publications
for health workers, carers and those suffering from stroke
Helen McIntosh's publications are for health workers, carers and those suffering from stroke.
Helen McIntosh has written these books on stroke and rehabilitation to describe her experience of it. Following the stroke Helen found writing therapeutic and was later encouraged to publish her writings about her experience. It is hoped her books may help people to know what it is actually like to have a stroke and to go through the long period of rehabilitation. Then to know what it is like to live with the residual affects of the stroke and the challenges this presents to daily living. These books on stroke and rehabilitation are for health workers, carers and people suffering from stroke. The children's book is to help them understand stroke and what has happened to a loved one.
Helen's publications are also now available as eBooks from Amazon.
