LIVING WITH ALS
We understand how difficult it can be to receive and learn to accept an ALS diagnosis. We want to support you during this time of turmoil by offering services that may help you in various ways.
There are two important steps you should take at the start of your journey:
1. Register with your local CLSC
The first step for a person with ALS is to register with their local CLSC. A healthcare professional will be able to refer the person and yourself to the most appropriate services based on your situation.Click here to find a resource centre close to you (page in French only).
2. Register with the ALS Society of Quebec
In order to benefit from the services we offer, you need to be a registered member. Based on the feedback we receive from our members, we are better able to understand what you are going through, and address the needs of all those who are touched by ALS.
