Support Programs and Services
We understand that many neurological conditions have a significant impact on quality of life for patients, as well as for their families and caregivers. To assist patients, families, and caregivers with the challenges of a neurological diagnosis, we offer a range of support programs, services, and resources for a wide variety of neurological diseases and disorders.
Social Work Services
Many patients benefit from the services offered by our extensive team of licensed clinical social workers, who are available to meet with patients and families after appointments or at a separate time to provide support, referrals, and guidance on the following:
- Navigating health care systems
- Home health services
- Questions regarding disability
- Referral for legal services
- Connection to community resources
- Late stage planning including understanding advanced directives and guidance in placement process
- Supportive counseling
Support Groups
Knowing that you are not alone can be an enormous source of comfort. We offer a variety of disease-specific support groups to offer patients, families, and caregivers the chance to meet, share, and learn from others in similar circumstances. Visit our individual service pages to learn more.
Resources
We partner with national and local patient advocacy organizations to educate patients, families, and caregivers about living with their specific neurological conditions, and to help them build community.
