About Event
MS Talk is an intimate themed discussion for and by people with MS with the presence and support of decision-makers, experts, and professionals in various fields.
The purpose is to have in-depth conversations about topics that require more context and provide an opportunity for decision-makers and the society to hear directly from people living with MS; specifically on their needs and challenges and what support would be beneficial.
Inclusive Employment will be focusing on advocacy with relation to the workplace particularly, incorporating strategies to self-advocate and gain access to needs and existing rights.
These discussions are filmed and shared on our social media channels and website as helpful resources for those who cannot join us.
