Whether you have been recently diagnosed with MS or have been living with the disease for some time, you will find information and resources in this section that relate to the MS Society of Canada’s mission “enabling people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life”. This important work is carried out by the numerous and committed volunteers and staff in Client Services at the Society.
What does Client Services refer to?
The main, or primary, clients of the MS Society
of Canada are people who are:
- Living with a diagnosis of MS
- Waiting for a diagnosis with respect to
MS
- Close to a person with MS, such as family
and friends
- Caregivers to a person with MS, who may
also include family and friends
In addition to serving its primary clients,
MS Society volunteers and staff also provide information and
support to health professionals, employers, institutions and
students.
Based upon needs and available resources,
the MS Society of Canada’s units, chapters, divisions,
and national office provide Client Services that encompass:
- Information and referral
- Supportive counselling
- Support and self-help groups
- Recreation and social programs
- Financial assistance
- Education
- Advocating for yourself
Our goal in Client Services is:
“To
provide programs and services to those affected by multiple
sclerosis to achieve the highest possible quality of life while
living with the daily challenges that MS presents.”
The MS Society is ready to offer as
much or as little help as you may need within its range of services.
