Melbourne Wellness Dinner
Wednesday, 19 May 2021
6.30pm - 8.30pm
Please arrive at 6.00pm to check in
May is MS Awareness month and the theme this year is Connecting to Family and Friends. We are pleased to have Dr Sally Shaw, Psychologist, join us to explore ways to break down the barriers to communicating about multiple sclerosis with our loved ones, friends and acquaintances.
Different people need different levels of knowledge and everyone seems to have good advice for us. This can create barriers to relationships that we need to break down. We need to know how to communicate about being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and the symptoms being experienced.
Come and enjoy a dinner with us and go home with new strategies for breaking down the barriers that can get in the way of good communication about multiple sclerosis.
As the numbers at this program are limited, you ar welcome to bring one guest. Registration is essential.
Catering must be confirmed within 7 days of the program.
