This support group is for all English-speaking people living with ALS.
The support group for people living with ALS provides a space to discuss challenges related to the disease: advance care planning, supportive resources, research protocols, mental health, and more. It is a place to share, find support, and inspire hope.
New format
To better meet the needs of the English-speaking community, we’ve updated the format of our English support groups.
What’s new?
- The English support groups will now alternate each month between people living with ALS and caregivers.
- Meetings will take place in the evening, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
- The groups will be facilitated by Mia Lanno, a trained social worker with extensive experience in healthcare, including work with people affected by ALS. A long-time volunteer with ALS Quebec, Mia has also co-facilitated a bereavement support group.
