What to Expect:

Led by our Care Services Staff, ALS Support Groups provide opportunities for group members to share their personal experiences and to learn more about living with ALS. Participants learn that they are not alone nor without help or hope. Support Group meetings are free and open to all people living with ALS and their caregivers. We also offer Specialist Spotlights, which feature expert speakers discussing timely and relevant topics. These sessions aim to provide valuable information and practical strategies to help maintain independence and enhance the quality of life for individuals living with ALS and their caregivers

Support groups are held both in-person and virtually. In-person locations vary every month. If you are interested in joining a support, please contact us.

The progression of ALS varies significantly from one person to another. Responding to each person's individual needs, our organization is available to provide vital services and reliable information through strategic community partnerships.
