MS is a disease affecting the whole family. This is why the South Florida Chapter offers many different programs that support parents, friends, spouses, and children of people with MS. Our programs provide them with opportunities to network socially with other families, as well as, gain substantial knowledge and education about the disease.

- Someone You Know has MS: A Book for Families - for children ages 5-12 for children who have a parent with MS.
