In recent years, MSAA and other organizations have adopted the term care partner vs. caregiver to help reflect the grown team approach people use to understand and navigate life with MS. Join us, as we present:
“The Partnership of Care: Redefining Caregiver to Care Partner”
Monday, March 18, 2019
8:00 pm (Eastern)
From helping someone newly diagnosed learn about treatment decisions, to making accessible home modifications for a person who has lived with MS for many years, care partners play an enormous role in the lives of their loved ones. As a way of acknowledging these partnerships, MSAA invites you to our free, live webinar spotlighting care partner needs.
Presented by MS nurse practitioner Megan Weigel, DNP, ARNP-c, MSCN, you can learn about the importance of:
- Understanding a care partnership between MS couples and the family
- Establishing good communication skills
- Learning about roles and responsibilities
- Finding helpful resources and tools
- Taking care of yourself as a care partner
You will also be able to post any questions you have to expert Megan Weigel at the end of the webinar.

Hi Maribel, thank you for reaching out. If you’d like to contact others living with MS who may also speak Spanish you can connect with others online through MSAA’s peer support forum called MY MSAA Community, https://mymsaa.org/msaa-community/my-msaa-community-forum. You can post about yourself and see who may be able to communicate with you in Spanish. You can also contact other MS organizations, including the National MS Society, http://www.nationalmssociety.org and the MS Foundation, http://www.msfocus.org to see if they have additional resources you can use as well.
