LINKS Teleconference Series 

Each year the Hampton Roads Chapter collaborates with other chapters across the East Coast to conduct a teleconference series for clients with MS and their families entitled “LINKS.”  Whether you just received a diagnosis or have been living with it for a long time--the goal of the series is to “link” you with information and tips on how to maintain your quality of life in the years ahead. A variety of topics including those to enhance your health and wellness, maximize your productivity and independence, and deal with emotional, social, and vocational challenges are included.

Each teleconference is presented by an expert, lasts just one hour and is accessible via a toll-free number.
