Due to funding restraints, we aimed to enroll 24 SS-IC dyads into the intervention group and 12 dyads into the control group. Individuals were eligible if a dyad was not possible. Potential participants were approached during an outpatient stroke clinic visit. SS are seen in our stroke clinic approximately 2–6 weeks post-hospitalization, and visits are repeated at 3, 6, and 12 months. SS were included if they were at least 18 years old, could speak and read English, could provide written informed consent, had an ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke, or transient ischemic attack (recurrent or first-time stroke event) within the past 12 months, and currently lived at home. SS motivation and readiness to participate in recovery has been shown to be present outside of the immediate acute stroke period [
