“A counsellor was a great help to our entire family when we learned of my son’s illness. She dealt with the situation on a completely factual basis with no ‘sugar coating,’ but at the same time showed a deft understanding of what a newly diagnosed patient might be thinking. He now has a great attitude, and looks forward to his life, whatever may unfold.”

Counseling

MS is a complicated disease that strikes most people in the prime of life as they are building families and careers. How it manifests in each person is different, but most people will have to prepare to live with this disease for quite some time.

Through individual and family counseling, and seminars, the Center offers a range of resources to assist each individual, as well as families and friends. [READ MORE]

We offer MS ID cards as a service to those who live with multiple sclerosis, to help explain symptoms that may be perplexing to those around you. The card lists your vital information on one side, and common MS symptoms on the back. [READ MORE]
