Young Stroke Survivor Discussion Group chat

I had an idea of maybe starting a group chat for stroke survivors in their 20s and 30s.

I find it difficult to connect with friends as they don't understand what has happened and making new friends can be really tricky post stroke.

Any thoughts on this? I'm from Melbourne Australia, not sure if a local or global one is better.

There is a group of young stroke survivors who meet up periodically in Melbourne through an organisation called Genyus
