Self-Help Groups
Self-help groups are located throughout our chapter area to provide you with a place to go and talk with others and learn more about MS.
Groups meet regularly for educational and social purposes, allowing members to express feelings and provide support to one another. Members share a belief that positive personal change can happen through individual effort with the support of others.
The Society recognizes the valuable role self-help groups can play in addressing the informational, emotional, and social support needs of our members.
We have women’s, men’s, co-ed, newly diagnosed and caregiver groups. For more information about our groups, please contact the chapter at 336-299-4136.
Community-Based Support Groups
These are groups that provide valuable support but are not part of the chapter's self-help groups. See below for information about a "Young Men Living with MS" support group.
