2008 Support Groups
ALS ASSOCIATION SUPPORT GROUPS:
The Association offers monthly support groups throughout Georgia. Support 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. Notices are mailed to PALS registered in our database, but please contact Crystal Jackson if you would like to recieve a mailing for a particular area 888-636-9940.
Read below for the dates, times and the address of each location.
ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP:
The Medical College of Georgia has started an online ALS support group and invites the ALS community to log in and get connected to this valuable resource. The site allows anyone interested to post and respond to discussion threads, learn of any upcoming events, and generally become more informed about ALS specific topics. For more information on how to join, please visit: www.neurolist.com and scroll to the ALS List.
