Self-help groups bring people together who share common life experiences for support, education and mutual aid. Benefits of participating in a self-help group include:
National MS Society self-help groups focus on support, advocacy, education, wellness or may be more social in nature. Some groups also serve specific populations, such as young adults, parents with MS or care partners. Other groups may have a specific focus, such as physical activity, wellness or healthy living.
People come together at self-help groups to lift each other up through personal struggles and encourage each other to try new things and live each day to its full potential. Learn more about the sense of community and the power of connection offered at National MS Society groups.
Many groups are meeting virtually. As we continue gauging the interested of our local community and plan to resume our monthly meetings, please join our private self hep group on Facebook. Once your request has been approved you'll be able to communicate with our growing population of members.
Our upcoming plans include a local coffee chat, inviting local speakers and other fun and engaging events.
