About Our Support Groups

Led by professionals, our Support Groups provide opportunities for members to share experiences and learn more about living with ALS. Participants discover that they are not alone, nor without help or hope. Meetings are free and open to all people living with ALS and their caregivers. Sessions may feature guest speakers, resources, and discussions that promote independence, understanding, and quality of life.

Why Join a Support Group?

Our groups are designed to empower individuals and families through shared understanding and compassion.

Emotional Support

Find comfort in connecting with others who understand your journey and challenges.

Expert Guidance

Learn from professionals and guest speakers who provide insights on care, communication, and wellness.

Shared Resources

Access local and national resources that can help improve daily life for people living with ALS.

“If you decide to come to an ALS Support Group, come at least three times to figure out if it is right for you. The first time can be scary not knowing what you will see or hear. The second time, you feel more comfortable and start taking in more information. By the third time, you stop seeing people with ALS and just see people who are your friends and supporters.”
