Support Groups
The Chapter offers monthly support groups in New York and New Jersey. Each month the groups provide an opportunity for patients, family members, caregivers and friends to come together to share stories, hear the experiences of other PALS and to get information. Scheduled are a variety of speakers to increase your knowledge about community resources and effective strategies for living with ALS.
The following support groups are open to patients, caregivers, family members and friends. For more information on these groups call or email Kayvan Freeman at (800)672-8857 or freeman@als-ny.org or contact the facilitator of the group you are interested in listed below.
