Multiple Sclerosis Society Of New Zealand Inc

Since 1967, nestled in the heart of Wellington, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of New Zealand Inc has been a beacon of hope, compassion, and understanding for those impacted by multiple sclerosis (MS). As a welfare organisation deeply rooted in our community, we have dedicated ourselves to providing essential services that empower individuals, families, and caregivers navigating the complexities of this debilitating disease. Our mission is not merely about offering assistance but also fostering a sense of belonging, solidarity, and mutual support among those affected by MS. We are more than just an organisation; we are a community – a diverse family bound together by shared experiences, empathy, and resilience. We pride ourselves on our community services, which include information and education programs tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Our team is passionate about equipping people with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing. We offer a Community Advisory Service where members can consult with trained professionals for guidance and support, ensuring no one feels alone in their journey. In addition to our advisory service, we run numerous Support Groups throughout the city. These groups provide an invaluable space for individuals to connect, share stories, and find comfort in shared experiences. We understand that life with MS can be challenging, and having a supportive community can make all the difference. Beyond our direct services, we actively engage in advocacy efforts on behalf of those affected by MS. By working closely with policymakers and healthcare providers, we aim to ensure equal access to essential care and resources for everyone impacted by this condition. Furthermore, we offer referral services to connect individuals with other organisations that can provide additional support. Family support is another crucial aspect of our work. We recognise the profound impact that multiple sclerosis has not only on the person diagnosed but also on their loved ones. Our initiatives are designed to offer practical advice, emotional support, and resources for families navigating this challenging journey. The Multiple Sclerosis Society of New Zealand Inc is more than a welfare organisation; we are a family, a community, an ally, and a beacon of hope. For over five decades, we have been walking alongside those affected by multiple sclerosis, offering support, education, and advocacy every step of the way. Join us in our mission to create a world free of the limitations that multiple sclerosis imposes on the lives of individuals and their families.
