Parenting with MG
Parenting is challenging for the healthiest of parents. Myasthenia gravis (MG) adds another layer to navigate within the parenting realm, but it doesn’t need to be in isolation. Having MG can feel lonely and may tinge our view of ourselves especially as parents. This group is open to parents of children of all ages; even when they are adults, a parent’s work is never done. We are a community of parents supporting parents and those considering parenthood. We learn from one another, share helpful hacks, hear from experts in the field and get the opportunity to be part of a positive, problem-solving community where YOU matter.
This group meets on the 2nd Monday of the month at 12pm EST
Tri-State NY,NJ, CT Support Group
