Life can be very complicated with too many demands, activities, and responsibilities. Too much going on and too little to enjoy and savor. Holiday prep is a great example of life events that can feel overwhelming and out of control. As we move into December, join us to learn tips and strategies for getting a grip – on your personal priorities, overcrowded schedule, and commitments to others. These tips will help make your holidays feel more enjoyable carry you through 2023 and beyond!
Implicit bias among healthcare providers, plus the medical mistrust it causes, has led to a variety of consequences for the Black MS Community. Join this program to discuss how to effectively communicate with your healthcare team, how to make the most of each of your healthcare visits, and how to advocate for yourself.
Early MS treatment is crucial and usually starts with the introduction of a disease-modifying therapy. However, with the overload of information that comes with the diagnosis of MS, you are rarely given the time and space to truly understand the whole MS DMT landscape. Join us to learn the goals of DMTs, how each class affects the immune system differently, key considerations when deciding to start, and when a switch might be recommended.
Do you find yourself wondering... What exactly are DMTs for MS? Are there alternative treatments for DMTs? How do DMTs work in MS? How do I decide which DMT is right for me? How much will MS treatment cost me? Bring all your questions to our Can Do Coaches and get the expert answers you need to better understand your MS treatment options.

But you know what? It's still extraordinary! Join us for a supportive space of shared experiences and expert guidance to empower you to foster deeper connections.
