Our counseling program helps people cope with the daily challenges of living with MS and range from in-person to telephone groups to peer counseling. Professionally led in-person and conference call support groups.
Groups offer an opportunity to openly share personal experiences, coping strategies and feelings.
Participants are given the opportunity to discuss and share issues of special concern. Professional therapists trained by the Chapter about MS lead all support groups. Through support over the telephone or in person, the peer uses his or her firsthand knowledge to help solve problems and develop coping strategies. Discovery Weekend is held every other year at a resort near New York City with educational workshops, adapted exercise and sports, and other lectures and activities.
