MS caregiving is a journeyβ€”one that’s too often unsupported.
That’s why ACP and RealTalk MS launched the MS Care Partner Connection: a one-stop site for resources, caregiver guides, and even an AI-powered support bot.

I totally get that. For many, it’s a chance to share their MS experiences on their* terms and reach people who rarely engage with the MS community.

It's all about increasing visibility, connection, and change. Regardless, we appreciate your voice, whether during β€œawareness months” or anytime!
