The ALS Association Louisiana-Mississippi Chapter's "ALS Connections" support groups are open to persons diagnosed with ALS, their families, friends and caregivers. These groups serve as an outlet for persons with ALS and their loved ones where they can learn more about ALS, share information on living with the disease, and meet others who are on a similar journey. For more information, call (800) 891-3746, ext. 3 or email chrissie.trosclair@alsalams.org.
