Making the decision to attend a self-help group for the first time or to attend a new group is important
To help you gather the information you need to feel comfortable and prepared for your first meeting, you may want to ask the following questions to the group’s leader:
- Verify the date, time and location of the meeting.
- Ask for directions to the meeting facility and information about parking.
- Is the group mainly a social group or do members discuss issues related to MS?
- Does the group have speakers talk about issues related to MS?
- What is the age range of the group members?
- What is the level of disability of the group members?
- Is the group open to having family members, spouses, caregivers, friends, etc.?
