SUMMARY:Newly Diagnosed ALS Support Series
DESCRIPTION:An ALS diagnosis is difficult to process. People often feel shocked and isolated by the news\, whether the diagnosis was for themselves or a family member. It’s hard to move forward or figure out what comes next.   \nThis summer\, the Les Turner ALS Foundation is launching the ALS Newly Diagnosed Support Series. Set in a relaxed and supportive virtual environment\, this support series will allow you to connect with others who have received an ALS diagnosis within the last nine months.  \nThe series will be facilitated by members of the Foundation’s Support Services team. Each session will address a topic and provide resources and education to consider. There will also be an opportunity to connect with others and ask questions.   \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:June ALS Learning Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm CST for our June ALS Learning Series Webinar titled “A Pulmonologist Explains Tracheostomy and Invasive Ventilation for People Living with ALS” \nNot everyone with ALS will need or choose to have a tracheostomy\, but there may come a time when it’s necessary for continued breathing. You may have respiratory weakness that can no longer be treated with a mask and non-invasive ventilation. You may also need a tracheostomy to help remove secretions form your airways.  Join Lisa Wolfe\, MD\, for a pulmonologist’s breakdown on respiratory management for those with increased ventilation needs. Community resources will be shared. \nThe Les Turner ALS Foundation is proud to offer this webinar at no cost to the ALS community. Thank you to the Gilbert & Jacqueline Fern Foundation and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America for sponsoring this webinar. \n  \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Caregivers-Only Support Group
DESCRIPTION:The Caregivers Only group offers a time to talk about all the issues caregivers face in a non-judgmental\, accepting atmosphere without their loved one\, who is living with ALS\, being present. Caregivers share a common experience; life has become so tumultuous that they often feel exhausted and overwhelmed\, hungry for emotional comfort. Together\, with the guidance and encouragement of a devoted facilitator\, caregivers can find the strength to persevere. And\, by feeling heard and understood\, caregivers become more equipped to face another day with new coping strategies. \nTime: Meets the Third Thursday of each month from 3pm to 4pm \nFacilitator: Anne Lidsky\, PhD \nRSVP: Please RSVP here. \n*Meetings will be held over Zoom and a Zoom invitation will be sent via email once you register for the group.*
