The targeted participants are people living with MS and their support person (spouse, partner, friend, or family member). This will be very useful to both newly diagnosed and the person living with MS longer. Their will be 6 classes one per week. Contributing to on line comments will benefit the group by providing feedback. The course comes with a very basic booklet that will be useful for taking notes and doing the homework assignments. The pages that correlate with each class will be posted weekly. The homework assignments are used to practice or evaluate your personal needs to promote a better sense of well-being . In the booklet provided write down (on page 2) a positive statement about yourself and what you would like to learn about managing your MS. Please share in the comment section for other participants.
