  • Cognition: Get to know what's going on with your mind 
  • Managing Mobility Challenges

You will learn:

  • SMART goals: You'll map out a personal plan for success with help from MS care professionals

  • Lasting connections: The friendships made in these two days can last a lifetime
  • and so much more!

We highly encourage your support partner (spouse, significant other, family member, friend) to attend with you. Often support partners discover a new sense of understanding and connection that they can't find anywhere else.
