Newly diagnosed peer group
This peer group session is for people newly diagnosed with MS . Come along to meet others, chat and share.
Being newly or recently diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis) can feel overwhelming. The first thing to remember is there's a whole community of people here to connect with.
Our peer group is there for those newly diagnosed who would like to meet others with MS to chat and share. We’ll be joined by one of our volunteers who’ll be sharing their lived experiences and sharing what helps them live well with MS.
- Share experiences and information
- Learn more about MS and symptoms
- Find out more about talking to your employer and the support available
- A safe space to chat and ask questions
The peer group sessions are an opportunity to bring you together with other people newly diagnosed with MS. We’ll discuss a variety of topics and signpost you to information and support.
