Navigating the Caregiving Journey
Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 1:00pm ET
Join Mission MSA this November as we honor National Family Caregivers Month with a special, supportive conversation on navigating the MSA caregiving journey.
Â
We’ll open with Christina Irving from the Family Caregiver Alliance, who will share essential resources, guidance, and practical ways to access support. Afterward, a panel of MSA care partners will share their personal stories and answer questions about how they’ve navigated this journey.
Â
Whether you are currently caring for a loved one with MSA or supporting someone in a caregiving role, we invite you to connect, learn, and be reminded that you don’t have to walk this path alone.
