The Florida Chapter Supports

ALS Association Resource Groups are a source of Hope, Information and Fellowship.

The Florida Chapter facilitates several resource groups throughout Florida. These groups are open to persons with ALS, their families and friends. Many group sessions begin with a speaker on topics relevant to patients and their families. Caregiver only groups are also available.

An ALS Association Resource Group is:

1. Sharing practical advice on day-to-day living with ALS.
2. Facilitators who have genuine concern for others.
3. A safe place to express oneself in confidentiality.
4. A place to learn more about the disease and to find hope.
5. Films, guest speakers, community members, current research, diets, books, and therapies.
6. Individuals who share experiences as participants in clinical trials.
7. Learning to cope with the tremendous amount of stresses put on relationships and families.
8. People who are concerned about what is happening in each other's lives.
9. Sharing what it is like to live with ALS and the challenges to keep functioning at the highest level possible.

The ALS Association Florida Chapter offers several 
Resource Groups located throughout the state of Florida.
