A support network is somewhere that you can share feelings or vent frustrations – a place to be able to check in and touch base with others or make connections. Ultimately, it’s a system that is there for you without judgment or expectation that you can depend on. That’s what members have found on our platform, My MSAA Community. This online forum not only offers a safe place to ask questions and find information, it has also become a reliable “check-in” community for those involved.

Updates are often sent to one another, as members check in with the community to let everyone know about their medical appointments to get feedback and encouraging words.

“I know it can be overwhelming with all the different tests and doctors. Try to relax (I know, easier said than done). Good luck.”

Countless moments of kindness and empathy can often be found on the community, especially as members face some challenging issues such as depression. Community members often find themselves showered with support. Members also reach out to each other to ask how things are, to send well wishes when needed, and to offer encouragement to those having a difficult time. One member of the community shares, “just letting you know all our thoughts are with you today – keep smiling” to another member having an MRI done that day. In addition, the community’s Birthday Ambassador keeps track of birthdays and sends special messages on celebrating the occasion.

If you haven’t done so already, take some time to check out My MSAA Community and find a new support network today.
