LIVING WELL WITH MS

In partnership with MS Queensland, we offer a six-week program entitled ‘Living Well with MS’ (a six-week Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Program).

This program is facilitated by provisional psychologists/psychologists under the supervision of Leonie Lorien (Clinical Psychologist). It is best suited to those in the early years of living with MS.

In a supportive group environment, you will gain strategies to assist you in:  


      • coming to terms with the realities of life following an MS diagnosis;
      • adjusting to the uncertainty of the disease;
      • managing stress and be proactive in problem-solving; and
      • building your support for the future.
