It has been our experience that the conventional medical establishment is not adequately prepared to deal with the unique concerns presented by ALS patients. Through our education series and gatherings we offer specialized insights for caregivers gleaned from our years of experience caring for ALS patients in all stages of the disease. These workshops are designed to help providers practice communication and empathy skills to improve caregiver/patient relations. The ever-changing nature of ALS symptoms makes this especially important. Our workshops give health care professionals a chance to take the time to consider the ALS dynamics in depth and improve ALS patients’ lives by improving the knowledge, skills, and techniques of their caregivers. A majority of our participants work for hospice agencies in Massachusetts.
