Someone Who Gets It:  The Power of ALS Peer Mentoring

What does it really mean to have someone who understands what it’s like to live with ALS?  In this episode of I’m Dying To Tell You, we explore the power of ALS peer support and one-on-one connection with three I AM ALS Peer Mentors and the staff member who oversees the program.

We talk about what ALS peer mentoring looks like, how mentors support people living with ALS and their families, why shared experience can be so powerful and how connecting with someone who truly “gets it” can help people navigate the emotional and practical challenges of an ALS diagnosis.

If you or someone you love is living with ALS, newly diagnosed, caring for someone with ALS, or simply looking for connection and community, this conversation offers an inside look at how peer mentoring can remind us that we don’t have to navigate ALS alone.  We also chat about an upcoming virtual I AM ALS Open House where you can hear from all the community teams and explore all the ways to get involved and find your team.  Thank you for being here and sharing this episode with a friend.
