The AnCan MS Support program offers 3 peer-led virtual support groups each month For people living with Multiple Sclerosis
Our platform offers live interactive audio and optional video chat that you can join online or by phone. The group is for men and women living with the challenges that come with any form of MS.
We appreciate MS can change the challenges of even the simplest daily tasks … and we understand how it makes you feel – physically and emotionally. Why? Because we are peers … we too live with MS and we understand it at the most basic level. Share your insight and commiserate with others who know.
To learn more about MS and meet two of our moderators, Dan & Jennifer Digmann, visit “A Couple Takes on MS” and read their blog.
The regular peer-led virtual MS Group meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 8.30 pm Eastern, and the 4th Tuesday at 1:30 pm ET in the AnCan Barniskis Room; participation is free and no registration is required. Joining instructions can be found here.
AnCan together with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society hosts a peer-led Under-45s Virtual Group on the 4th Thursday of every month at 7.30 pm ET in the AnCan Barniskis Room – free and drop in like all AnCan Groups. We recognize that early onset MS presents different challenges at home, at work and in your life. This Group is for you.
Our sessions are recorded and posted to AnCan’s YouTube Channel, and shared on social media and our website. You are welcome to attend anonymously.
