Family Support

Connecting to Your Community

Your connection with friends, family and others affected by MS is vital to keep you moving. Stay connected through our kids' camp, family and caregiver programs, self-help groups and social outings that keep you plugged in when it matters most.

Caregiver Support

Caring for someone with a chronic illness like multiple sclerosis can be deeply satisfying. Partners, family, and friends can be drawn more closely together when they meet the challenges. Care giving can also be physically and emotionally exhausting, especially for the person who is the primary caregiver.

Kids & Teens

When just starting out, Multiple Sclerosis can be hard to understand, and even harder to talk about... especially with children. Find out more about resources for children with loved ones with MS.

Keep S'myelin is a colorful newsletter filled with stories, interviews, games, and activities that highlight a variety of topics about multiple sclerosis.

Young Persons With MS: A Network for Families with a Child or Teen with MS
As young children and teenagers are being diagnosed with a disease that was once thought to strike only adults, it is essential that families can find support to avoid feeling isolated. The Young Person’s Network exists to support families who have a child or teen diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) or a related demyelinating disease.
