Workshops, webinars, and support groups tailored to every reality

At ALS Quebec, we deeply believe in the strength of community. Our support groups are more than spaces to talk: they are places of listening, mutual support, and genuine human connection.

To meet the diverse needs of people affected by ALS, we offer several types of group meetings:

Educational Workshop Series – ALS 101 Workshops

A three-part series designed to help you better understand and adjust to the disease: 

  • Workshop #1: ALS Overview
  • Workshop #2: Following an ALS diagnosis
  • Workshop #3: Coping skills for ALS

Educational Webinars

Monthly presentations designed to deepen your knowledge of ALS through a variety of topics.

As a spouse and caregiver, it did me a lot of good to be able to talk with other caregivers. Seeing that my partner could also share what he was going through with people facing the same situation was truly valuable.

Curious to give it a try?

There’s no obligation to speak. You’re welcome to come, observe, get a feel for the atmosphere, and decide at your own pace. 

Need respite to participate in an ALS Quebec activity?

To help you participate in our groups and webinars with peace of mind, we can cover the cost of respite care services during the meetings. This support can take different forms, such as respite care for the person living with ALS or childcare expenses, to free you from your responsibilities and allow you to be fully present.
