Kids and MSA: Support Strategies
Wednesday, April 30 at 12:00pm ET
Many people associate the word “caregiver” with an individual who is caring for an older loved one, neglecting the presence of others – including children – as part of the overall care team. When an individual is diagnosed with an MSA, it impacts the entire family, but there is limited support or resources for children in how to navigate the many changes this can bring. This webinar will discuss two primary things: why recognition of caregiving youth is so important and how to discuss the diagnosis and changes with them.
2025 International MSA Congress
Friday, May 9-Sunday, May 11, 2025
Join us in Boston, MA in 2025 for the International MSA Congress! The core purpose of our conference is to provide a platform for our community to gather, connect, and engage in discussions surrounding the latest scientific discoveries and best care practices related to multiple system atrophy (MSA).
Considerations for Future Care
Wednesday, June 25 at 12:00pm ET
As MSA progresses, individuals and their families face unique challenges in planning for the future.

With the hopes of ensuring that families feel equipped, supported, and empowered as they plan for their loved one’s long-term needs, we will cover a range of topics including:
- – Important members on your health care team and beyond
- – Building a Support Network
- – Starting the Conversation about Hiring In-home Care
- – Exploring Alternative Care Options Outside Your Home
