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: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.
