The work of the MS Society that relates to
the latter half of its mission – “enabling people
affected by MS to enhance their quality of life” –
is conducted by volunteers and staff in Client Services.
What does Client Services refer to?
The main, or primary, clients of the MS Society
of Canada are people who are:
- Living with a diagnosis of MS
- Waiting for a diagnosis with respect to
MS
- Close to a person with MS, such as family
and friends
- Caregivers to a person with MS, who may
also include family and friends
In addition to serving its primary clients,
MS Society volunteers and staff also provide information and
support to health professionals, employers, institutions and
students.
Based upon needs and available resources,
the MS Society of Canada’s units, chapters, divisions,
and national office provide Client Services that encompass:
- Information and referral
- Supportive counselling
- Support and self-help groups
- Recreation and social programs
- Financial assistance
- Education
- Advocating for yourself
Our goal in Client Services is: “To
provide programs and services to those affected by multiple
sclerosis to achieve the highest possible quality of life while
living with the daily challenges that MS presents.”
The MS Society is ready to offer as
much or as little help as you may need within its range of services.
