MDA SUPPORT
|
| For people served by MDA, there are many ways to
connect with others who are facing similar challenges
posed by neuromuscular diseases. Whether chatting by phone, face-to-face or via the Internet, thousands of people have found friendship, empathy and problem solving by linking up with others through MDA's support systems.
But one thing is for sure: Finding such support doesn't mean you'll find a room full of tears and sob stories. Sharing emotions is a priority, but so is exchanging ideas, victories and inspiration for living with neuromuscular disease. In fact, many participants find they receive the biggest boost by giving of themselves and sharing their tips for making life easier.

 It's
MDA's goal to provide opportunities to give and
receive support to as many people as possible. MDA
offers support groups nationwide to assist individuals
and their families in coping with the special problems
neuromuscular diseases impose. Support groups provide
valuable emotional support and practical help.
In addition to support groups, many MDA chapters
coordinate educational seminars for health professionals
and those served by the Association.
For additional information regarding support groups
in your area, please contact your local MDA office. |
