Thrive With a Team You Can Count On

For more than 30 years, the CAN DO Program has helped thousands of people find hope and take control of their lives. This year, you can join the CAN DO program from the comfort and safety of your home.

Our renowned CAN DO Program offers the industry’s most comprehensive, personalized, team-based approach. You won’t just receive information, you and your support partner will develop individualized plans to reach your personal goals in a small, supportive community.

Not all applicants can be accepted due to the small, intentional group sizes of this program. There is no cost to apply. Please see our cancellation policy for more information.

We will be reviewing applications on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Why CAN DO?

Research shows that team-based approaches lead to better health and wellness. The CAN DO Program allows you to share, strategize, and strengthen with a small group of others going through similar journeys as you. All the while, you’ll receive comprehensive guidance from the Can Do MS Coaching Team, which includes:

Neurologists
MS Nurses
Psychologists/Social Workers
Occupational Therapists
Physical Therapists
Speech-Language Pathologists
Dietitians/Nutrition Coaches

These professionals will all work together to provide integrated, personalized guidance for your wellness. You will spend time with the entire team, receive 1-on-1 coaching from individual members, and walk away with the knowledge and confidence to take steps towards a better life. No other program offers an opportunity like this!

Note: Can Do MS does not provide medical programs. Your coaches cannot provide specific advice or diagnosis, but they will work together to give you options, resources, and motivation.

Is CAN DO right for you?

This program is created for anyone living with MS. Whether you’ve been diagnosed for 12 months or 12 years, everyone has something to gain and contribute at the CAN DO Program. We highly suggest that a support partner attends with you. A support partner can be a spouse, partner, family member, friend, or anyone who cares about you. MS is a “we disease” – it affects not just you, but those around you. This program provides the best opportunity for support partners to learn about the impacts of MS on their own health and take steps towards their personal goals.

What should you expect?

Exclusive access to the CAN DO Self-Guided Learning prior to the live program (approx. 2 hours)
3-day live virtual program will include:

Team and individual coaching from health professionals
Problem-solving workshops with coaches and others living with MS
Separate breakout groups for people living with MS and support partners
Group yoga and stretching
Connecting with other people living with MS and support partners
Two to three virtual meet-ups following the program

How you can prepare for the program

Plan to attend all program sessions, including CAN DO Follow Up.
Make sure you have stable access to the internet throughout the program with a reliable webcam, microphone, and speakers. You will attend CAN DO over Zoom and you will not need to download any software. There will be one hour each day when you and your support partner will need separate devices and be in separate rooms.
Do your best and take care of yourself! The more you put in, the more you’ll get out – but always know your limits when taking on a long day.
Talk to your healthcare team before attending the program. Understand your needs and only perform movements that are safe for you.
Stay open-minded, respect differing opinions, and be kind to the community.

We understand that emergencies happen, but staffing is planned around your attendance. We expect that you will inform Can Do MS if you need to miss a session. No-shows or late cancellations may result in a cancellation fee.

Does the program cost anything?

You will receive three days of coaching, learning, and connections, 2-3 virtual meet ups following the program, and exclusive access to a library of Can Do MS resources, absolutely free!

The value of this program is $3,000 per participant. Due to high demand and popularity, we want to make sure that accepted applicants attend and get the most out of this experience. If you are accepted to the program, you will be asked to provide a credit card. As long as you attend the program or cancel within 2 weeks of the program, you will not be charged. If you cancel less than 2 weeks prior to the program or miss significant amounts of the program, you may be asked to provide a $100 cancellation fee to cover any fixed expenses.
