Emotional Support

Support Groups

The Delaware chapter has a fabulous offering of support groups throughout our state - our support groups bring in local speakers to address issues in which the group has an interest, have social outings, laugh a lot, experience shared camaraderie, and provide a safety net when the chips are down.

We currently have 9 support groups throughout Delaware, and there is likely a group near you. To see a list of our groups, click here.

Interested in starting a new group in your area or a special interest group?  
To inquire about starting a new group, call us at 302-655-5610 or 1-800-344-4867 or e-mail Marie.

Free Counseling Sessions

We offer up to 4 free counseling sessions for members of our chapter living with MS and their families. Counselors are available in New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties.

For more information, call or e-mail Carol at 302-655-5610 or 1-800-344-4867.

Friendly Visitor Program

Do you live in a Long Term Care facility or are you living in an in-patient rehabilitation center for a short time?  We have a group of volunteers who are living with MS or who have a loved one living with MS who are available just to listen when you need to talk.

Our volunteers have taken special training to be great listeners. They are anxious to come out to visit you! 

To be matched with a Friendly Visitor or to become a Friendly Visitor, call or e-mail Marie at 302-655-5610 or 1-800-344-4867.

Caring Hands Service Day

Caring Hands Service Day is designed to assist people living with multiple sclerosis with home maintenance and household chores such as yard work (raking leaves, planting flowers), cleaning gutters, painting, small repairs, organizing closets, etc.

If you would like to register as a volunteer helper, or if you would like to apply to have chores done at your home, contact the Delaware Chapter at 302-655-5610.
