Wellness Network
Brand New Program!
The Wellness Network will connect people who have an interest in or who are actively participating in exercise programs through a monthly teleconference. These will be similar to the Chapter "Talk MS" groups but each call will focus on a different topic relating to wellness.
Topics will range from:
-
Personal Training and MS - February 25, 7-8 pm
-
How Physical Therapy can Help - March 25, 7-8 pm
-
How to Stay Active During an Exacerbation - April 29, 7-8 pm
-
Adaptive Exercise Equipment - May 27, 7-8 pm
-
Nutrition - June 24, 7-8 pm
-
Exercise Research - July 29, 7-8 pm
Participating in monthly calls is an opportunity to share ideas and provide encouragement and support to each other on challenges and successes one experiences while seeking and actively participating in exercise programs.
The teleconferences are facilitated by Toni Kodner, a volunteer with extensive knowledge of MS and wellness. They will be the last Thursday of the month from 7-8 p.m. Each month a guest speaker will also share expertise on a specific topic. The Wellness Network is free and provides resources to a wide variety of people with MS of all abilities. It is also helpful to those who are new to seeking out wellness opportunities and need some guidance and direction.
If you are interested in becoming a member fo the Wellness Network, please call 1-800-344-4867 or visit our website to register for the monthly calls.
