World Stroke Day began at the Bourzouils leisure center. We are working with children for the first time. We would like to salute Vincent Jaulin, director, for this initiative. We can hardly touch the assets. Through children, the message will get across. Young people have no filter, questions come naturally,”
underlines Andréa Frappier, nurse at the departmental hospital center.
Stroke can happen at any age, anywhere, at any time, even at night. You have to be very responsive. What are the symptoms? A crooked mouth, speech or vision problems, inertia of a limb. If you witness such an accident, you must
know what to do. We alert on the 15th! Do not hesitate to get help from an adult.
After the explanations, it’s time for the drawing workshop, with role play (victim, witness, rescue). This action responds to our educational project. The adults and teenagers who participated appreciated these discussions, the video and the practical applications,”
completes Vincent Jaulin.
In the afternoon, a 3.5 km health walk or walk was organized, starting from the Mitan room. Thirty-seven people participated. They followed the route, strewn with communication panels, warning of the risks of stroke.
This circuit will remain signposted until Sunday November 17. Departure from the Mitan room can be done as a family, with a stroller, without the slightest problem »,
underlines Monique Brochard, assistant.
