Multiple sclerosis doesn’t just impact the body, it can change the way we relate to those around us. From shifting roles in long-term partnerships to coping with the emotional toll of lost connections, MS often becomes the silent third party in our most personal bonds. In this honest and supportive webinar, we’ll explore how MS affects relationships of all kinds. With guidance from Kim Castelo, a licensed therapist living with MS, this session will offer both clinical insights and real-world strategies to foster communication, strengthen emotional connection, and cope with the complex realities of love, intimacy, and support in the face of chronic illness.
