Self Help Groups

Self-help groups bring people together who share a common life experience for support, education, and mutual aid.

Benefits of participating in a self-help group include:

  • Learning new information and strategies for confronting problems
  • Finding support from others
  • The opportunity to help others
  • Feeling empowered and more self-confident in coping with challenges.
     

Members of self-help groups share a belief that positive personal change happens through individual efforts with the support of others.

The Society recognizes the valuable role self-help groups play in addressing the informational, emotional, and social support needs of people living with MS. There are over 1400 National MS Society-affiliated groups in existence today.
