Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, but sometimes MS does strike children and teens. They and their parents may feel isolated and uninformed due to the rarity of early onset. Our Support Network for Youth with MS provides the opportunity for you to meet others in a similar situation.
The Support Network serves two distinct groups:
- Children and teens with MS (21 or younger) residing in the home of their parents or guardians
- Parents of children or teens with MS
- The network also offers information and referral for parents and short-term telephone counseling.
