We’re excited to announce MS Beyond Diagnosis: Building Bridges to Wellness—an upcoming event bringing together the Saskatchewan MS community, including individuals with lived experience, their support networks, healthcare providers, and caregivers/partners. The aim of this gathering is to foster connection, learning, and knowledge sharing, while inspiring one another within the MS community.

This event will feature presentations from researchers, healthcare providers, and individuals with lived experience. Topics will include updates on MS, brain health (including aging and mindfulness), and wellness (nutrition and physical activity). There will also be plenty of opportunities for networking and connection.

We are looking to recruit individuals 18 years or older to complete a 40-minute online survey about their emotional responses to a series of brief video clips.
