MS Auckland run virtual and in-person support groups across Auckland

We believe in connection for everyone

The groups are often led by a Community Advisor, or a volunteer from the group. They are generally held in a café where you can sit and relax amongst a friendly, non-judgmental  group of people who all understand and live with MS or have a close personal connection to MS (partners, children, friends).

There are many benefits to participating in support groups.

Feeling less lonely, isolated or judged
Being able to talk openly and honestly about your feelings with people who understand what you are going through
Developing a clearer understanding of MS
Getting practical advice and information from people who live with MS
Making new connections
Comparing notes about doctors, treatments and alternative options
For anyone affected by MS

Support groups are for people living with MS as well as their partners, friends, siblings, children – basically anyone who is affected by MS.

Connect with those that simply 'get it'

Support groups are about people coming together to connect with others in a similar boat, share stories, laugh or shed a few tears, build each other up and make new friends.

Either in-person or online

Most of our groups meet in-person for coffee.  We also have virtual support options for those who prefer to connect in this way.
