We want the MSAA Life Coaching Program to focus specifically on the life challenges you or someone you know with MS might be facing.  Your valuable input can help focus our new Life Coaching Program in the direction you find most helpful.

More on Life Coaching:

Based on the success of Duke University Center for Integrative Medicine’s Health Coaching Program, MSAA is offering Life Coaching to individuals affected by multiple sclerosis. MSAA’s life coach teaches problem-solving strategies using real-life events to help people with MS find practical solutions. Group sessions will be conducted via telephone and online. Some areas of focus will include the following:
Adjustment to the illness, including the long-term impact of living with MS
Health and wellness issues
Stress management
Work/life balance
Family relationships
Medication adherence issues
Self advocacy
Resource identification
Behavioral approaches to pain management
Planning for the future
Life Coaching typically involves weekly toll-free telephone sessions and a variety of “homework” type assignments to reflect upon between coaching sessions.
