Support Groups & One-on-One Support

ALS in the Heartland is here to support individuals and families affected by ALS through connection, resources, and compassionate support. Our Patient Services team is available to provide support and resource connections in person, by phone, email, text, or Zoom.

We offer one-on-one support as well as several opportunities to connect with others in the ALS community through our support groups. Whether you are living with ALS, caring for someone with ALS, or have lost someone to ALS, you are welcome to connect with us in whatever way feels most comfortable for you.

Our Support Groups

All of our support groups are offered via Zoom. You can join from a computer, tablet, or smartphone. If you do not have access to a computer, you can download the Zoom app on your phone and join the group that way. We are happy to help you get connected!

  • Caregiver Support Group

    • A welcoming space for caregivers of individuals living with ALS to connect with others who understand, share experiences, ask questions, and find support.

  • Zoom Social Hour

    • A casual opportunity for individuals living with ALS and their families to chat, laugh, and connect with others in the ALS community from the comfort of home. Each Social Hour ends with a fun round of trivia!

  • Aftercare Support Group

    • A supportive space for individuals who have lost someone to ALS to connect with others who have experienced a similar loss, share experiences, and find support at their own pace.

View the calendar below for meeting dates, times, and additional information about each group.

One-on-One Support

One-on-one support is available if a group setting may not be the right fit for you. We can connect by phone, Zoom, or in person. If you are in our service area, or if I am in your area, I am always happy to try to find a time to meet with you in person.

Whether you would like someone to talk with, need help navigating resources, or simply want a space to process what you are feeling and experiencing, we are here for you.
