Our office is closed from 20th December and will reopen 6th January
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).
"Having that sense of connection and the fact you are not alone is both humbling and empowering"
Feeling lost in my own world... until I connected with MS Auckland and started feeling part of a group that understood, that I could talk to.
Support groups are for people living with MS as well as their partners, friends, siblings, children – basically anyone who is affected by MS.
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.
Most of our groups meet in-person for coffee. We also have virtual support options for those who prefer to connect in this way.
