Alexandria is to host free support sessions for people who are recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).
The Living Well with MS sessions will enable those affected by the neurological condition to share their own experiences and meet other people who have been newly diagnosed with MS.
Taking place this May and June, the two sessions will give those who have been diagnosed with the condition in the last five years the opportunity to learn from each other about how to live well with the condition and build their confidence in setting daily goals.
Those that come along will also have the opportunity to stay in touch with each other online.
Coleen Kelly, self-management lead for MS Society Scotland, said: “This is a great opportunity to connect with other people who live with MS.
