Stroke Busters
What is Stroke Busters?
Stroke Busters is a research-backed stroke education curriculum developed by Yale University. It focuses on teaching the science behind strokes, early recognition, prevention strategies, and emergency response protocols. By integrating this curriculum with our BEFAST Be A Superhero initiative, we amplify our impact, ensuring that more children and young adults can become life-saving advocates in their communities.
Our Approach
Through a Teach-the-Teacher Model, we empower high school and college students with stroke education training, enabling them to teach younger students in elementary schools. This ripple effect spreads vital knowledge throughout schools and communities, creating a new generation of informed individuals prepared to respond to a stroke emergency.
Why This Matters
-
Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. experiences a stroke.
-
Immediate recognition and response can save lives and reduce long-term disabilities.
-
Many children live with or interact with at-risk individuals, making their awareness crucial.
-
Educated youth become future advocates in healthcare, public health, and emergency response.
