Each month support group leaders help create an open, supportive atmosphere in meetings for people with MS and their families. To be a support group leader requires appropriate social and facilitating skills, a willingness to be available, and a commitment to providing leadership. On-going training and support is provided. Telefriends are volunteers who have MS themselves, and are available to talk with others over the phone about their personal experiences. Telefriends provide valuable, short-term support, in a casual, informal way.
Positions are available in all areas, and training is provided.
