Newly Diagnosed Peer Group (LWUK)

Being newly or recently diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis) can feel overwhelming. The first thing to remember is there's a whole community of people here to connect with.

Our peer group is there for those newly diagnosed who would like to meet others with MS to chat and share. We’ll be joined by one of our volunteers who’ll be sharing their lived experiences and sharing what helps them live well with MS.

• Share experiences and information
• Learn more about MS and symptoms
• Find out more about talking to your employer and the support available
• A safe space to chat and ask questions

The peer group sessions are an opportunity to bring you together with other people newly diagnosed with MS. We’ll discuss a variety of topics and signpost you to information and support.

What do you need to take part?

All you need to join in is a laptop, tablet, phone or computer with access to a microphone and camera. You'll need a stable internet connection to use Zoom, the video meeting software we use.

What if I haven’t been sent the link?

The Living Well team send out reminder emails with the link. You'll also get emails from Eventbrite, so please enter your email address carefully when registering. If you can't find these emails before the session, check your spam or junk folder. Alternatively, you can access the link by logging into your Eventbrite account.

What should I do if I can no longer attend?

If you find that you are unable to take part, please get in touch at livingwell@mssociety.org.uk so we can offer up your place to someone else.
