**10. Conclusion**

Stroke occurs suddenly and affects functional outcomes in stroke survivors and the quality of life of both the caregivers and the stroke survivors. Most of the survivors end up with disabilities and have to depend on caregivers to survive. Unfortunately, most of the caregivers are not knowledgeable about looking after stroke survivors and end up with high caregiver burden. This chapter explained how the caregivers can be assisted in supporting stroke survivors. It also outlined the steps that can be followed in developing a training programme that can be adapted for low resource settings, and for conditions that may also affect function and quality of life**.** This is because supporting survivors of stroke is best done through training their caregivers. The training programme should take into account the cultural issues surrounding the caregivers and the stroke survivors. It is worth noting that over and above training the caregivers, health departments should continue to offer support to the stroke survivors through provision of appropriate rehabilitation services so that they become functionally independent. The support and training should be ongoing.
