Receiving an ALS diagnosis is devastating for many reasons, including the knowledge that with a progressive loss of function will potentially come the loss of employment and much-loved activities.
This is why the Many Shades of ALS (MSOA) team here at I AM ALS wants to talk to you about a powerful antidote to the despair of ALS diagnosis and progression: staying engaged in life.
This will look different for different people, but remaining engaged and busy can be a powerful way to find purpose, remain physically and mentally healthy, and come to terms and cope with the reality of living with ALS.
Staying engaged while living with ALS can require you to go beyond your comfort zone, but if you’re willing to take the risk, you can learn things about yourself you never imagined. Join members of our MSOA team on February 7th at 5:30 PM ET as they host a community conversation on staying engaged and forging forward after an ALS diagnosis.
