National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s self help Groups

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s self help groups are groups of individuals with MS, their families, friends, and other care partners who gather regularly for the purposes of sharing common experiences and concerns, self help providing and receiving emotional support, and obtaining information on living and coping with MS.

Professionals and lay individuals alike have long recognized peer counseling and support programs as beneficial to people facing challenging circumstances in their lives. The common experience allows for a sense of safety to share problems and identify personal issues. A peer, who has experienced the feelings of vulnerability, anxiety, grief or fear which, to someone not dealing with MS, might seem excessive, is less likely to judge others in a similar situation. Also, it is of benefit to the peer volunteers themselves who become listeners and mentors and discover the satisfaction of sharing their wisdom and experience with others. Peer volunteers for the National MS Society include people with MS as well as family members. People with MS frequently voice the wish to speak to someone “in the same boat”, who can truly understand the challenges they are facing. Spouses, adult children or parents of someone with MS, as peer volunteers, can also provide valuable support, in this case to another family member facing the complex emotional and practical issues that MS generates in the family.

"I can do it by myself!" is a pet phrase of young children from one to four years of age. During these years, I assert my independence by wanting to do many things for myself. I also love to watch and copy what I see other people doing. My eagerness to be self help independent at this age makes it the ideal time for me to learn basic self help skills. There are five major types of self help skills: eating, dressing, grooming, household skills, and toileting. This site discusses the first four types. Toileting, because of its depth, appears in detail in the "Toilet Training" site. As a parent you can foster my development of self help skills in four ways:

• Understand the sequence in which I self help develop self help skills.
• Provide me with opportunities to develop self help skills.
• Model self help skills and provide appropriate feedback.
• Allow me the time I need to perform the self help task.
