Patient Support Groups:

• 'Newly Diagnosed Group' is for people who have been diagnosed with MS within the last few years and are interested in meeting people who are also newly diagnosed and do not have visible MS symptoms.
  
• 'The Moving Forward Group' is for people who have had MS for a number of years and focuses on helping each other cope with different levels of physical disability.
• 'The Partners' Group' helps spouses and partners of people with MS find understanding and support among people who appreciate the unique challenges of living with someone who has MS.

Anyone interested in learning about these groups, run by a professional social worker, should contact Beth DiBiase, LCSW at 212-265-8070.
