The informational project to aid refugees and immigrants with multiple sclerosis
The project represents a network of peer counselors focused on providing assistance to patients with multiple sclerosis. “Peer counseling” specifically refers to the practice where individuals with shared experiences, such as living with MS, provide support and guidance to one another. Peer counselors leverage their personal experiences to offer empathy, understanding, and practical advice to others in similar situations.
For all those who plan to continue treatment and need medical assistance. We can help with doctor contacts and other information, but we currently do not finance the purchase of medications.
Myelin, which forms scar tissue, is like a tape for the directed transmission of signals from one neuron to another. If the insulation stops working, the connection is interrupted, creating a short circuit.
Consultations for finding doctors and support groups are available in Georgia. Additionally, since June 2024, project specialists have been sharing information on multiple sclerosis treatment methods in Latvia, Germany, and Estonia.
We are actively seeking volunteers and neurologists specializing in multiple sclerosis in Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, and other countries.
