LINKS Teleconference Series

We are pleased to present a series of teleconferences for clients with MS and their families entitled "LINKS." Whether you just received a diagnosis of MS or have been living with it for a long time--the goal of this series is to "link" you with information and tips on how to maintain your quality of life in the years ahead.

The series is made up of nine teleconferences held Tuesday nights (7-8 pm) from April 2 through May 28, 2013.

Each teleconference lasts just one hour and is accessible via a toll-free number. You can ask questions or just listen to the information. Best of all, you can do so from the privacy of your own home. Participate in several calls or just the one that interests you.

Tips & Gadgets

Is your motto, “A Place For Everything and Everything All Over the Place?”  Are floors just extra shelves?  Are you tired of losing your glasses, keys, and anything else that passes through your hands?  Do you feel your memory is taking a long lunch break?  Well join the rest of us and tune in for an hour of discussion and sharing of simple, low-cost tips and gadgets that can make your day a little easier. Discussion will also address how to develop your own strategies and take some control over MS, as well as strategies for dealing with cognitive problems commonly associated with MS.
