Living with MS can be tough – not just physically, but emotionally too.
An exciting new study called MS PSY WELL-P, is a peer-led online program designed to explore how a short course can boost psychological well-being for people with MS. The course is free, flexible, and built to support mental health in everyday life.
If you’d like to take part and help shape the future of MS care, the University of Reading would love to hear from you!
