The information you need: Through workshops, our call center, the Society web site, e-newsletter and various publications, we provide the information you need, when you need it. Caring for caregivers: MS affects every family member, especially those closest to the person living with the disease; that’s why we provide respite assistance, counseling services and family programs. Crisis assistance: The unpredictable nature of MS means you may find yourself in a crisis with nowhere else to turn. We can connect you with community resources or provide emergency help for utility payments, household repairs, transportation to medical appointments and beyond.
