Support Groups
Facilitated by ALS professionals, Support Groups provide opportunities for group members to share their personal experiences and to learn more about living with ALS. Participants learn that they are not alone nor without help or hope. Support Group meetings are free and open to all people living with ALS and their caregivers. Support Groups sometimes feature speakers on relevant topics and are designed to share information as well as strategies for preserving the independence and quality of life of both people living with ALS and their caregivers.
Please call us at 303-832-2322 or email CareServices@alsrockymountain.org if you have any questions or would like more information.

Join us for a Picnic in the Park!
A special opportunity for individuals living with ALS, their families, and their caregivers to connect in person, share experiences, and enjoy the outdoors together. ALS United Rocky Mountain Ambassadors will host this casual gathering and provide light snacks and beverages. Still, we encourage you to bring blankets, chairs, and additional snacks to make yourself comfortable. This is a great chance to meet others in the ALS community, relax in a beautiful setting, and enjoy an afternoon of connection and support.

Empowering ALS Communities Through Support Groups
ALS Support Groups, facilitated by dedicated ALS United Rocky Mountain professionals, offer a space for individuals and their caregivers to share experiences, gain practical advice, and foster hope. By regularly attending meetings, participants can learn from others facing similar challenges, discover strategies for preserving quality of life, and understand that they are not alone in this journey. Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming regions host several groups focused on both patients and caregivers, ensuring community support is accessible. Through engagement, education, and empathy, our support groups aim to empower and uplift everyone affected by ALS.

If you decide to come to an ALS Support Group, come at least three times to figure out if it is right for you. The first time can be scary not knowing what you will see or hear. The second time, you feel more comfortable and start taking in more information. By the third time, you stop seeing people with ALS and just see people who are your friends and supporters.”
