One of the MDS Foundation’s goals is to expand the number of support groups worldwide. We are always on the lookout for people who are willing to start a group, offer some support in their area, and widen our support services to include more individuals affected by MDS. We want to make it as easy as possible for volunteers to create and run support groups to ensure they can provide continuous comfort to those utilizing them.
We have created a Support Group Leader Toolkit that will provide guidance on how to run the group, suggestions for discussion topics, useful tools like sample letters and forms, and various other resources to help the meetings run smoothly.
If you are interested in starting a support group of your own, please contact Audrey Hassan at 1-800-MDS-0839 Ext. 210 or email ahassan@mds-foundation.org.
