ALS Support Groups
The Support Group Program provides persons with ALS and their families the opportunity to connect with others in the community who share similar challenges and needs. The groups are designed to provide emotional and psychosocial support as well as resources and education. Knowing what questions to ask and where to look for resources is vital. The Association currently conducts monthly support groups that meet the needs of 159 counties in the state of Georgia. These groups are facilitated by professionals and community partners to ensure maximum results. Because the needs of caregivers and children can be very sensitive, the association has developed specific groups to address those needs.
