Resource & Support Groups
ALS United Mid-Atlantic hosts Support Groups throughout our service region to provide an opportunity for those living with ALS, caregivers, families and friends to be mutually supportive, exchange practical information, and share their experiences. We also provide support groups specifically for caregiver and bereavement support. All groups are free of charge.
For questions about a specific group, please contact the facilitator of that group. For general questions about our support groups, please contact Steve Spaulding at steve@alsmidatlantic.org or 215-664-4131 (call or text).

The outstanding care and services I receive from their team of medical professionals and the ongoing support from many staff members make all the difference in my life. Each day I am full of hope because I constantly read how ALS research is moving forward at a rapid pace."
