Event Details

Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health brings you Empowering the MS Care Partner - Tools, Knowledge & Support for the Journey — a four-hour program  designed specifically for family members, friends, and unpaid caregivers of individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and related syndromes. 

Care partners are an essential part of the MS journey, and yet they often receive little structured support or education to help them in their role. This event provides attendees with up-to-date, evidence-based information, practical skills, and emotional support to family members, friends, and unpaid caregivers supporting someone living with MS or related neuroimmune conditions. 

Discover:

  • Updates on recent advances in MS therapeutics
  • Insight into lifestyle factors that influence MS progression and symptom management
  • Strategies to prevent caregiver burnout and maintain wellness
  • Awareness of community resources for ongoing support
