February ALS Learning Series Webinar : ALS & Relationships, Sex, and Intimacy

A person living with #als may not feel comfortable addressing relationship, intimacy and sexual health changes that occur during their ALS journey with their healthcare providers. Although their ALS care team is always there to help, they may not feel fully equipped to assist them. The good news is that there are tips for managing their physical connection with their loved one through adaptations and open communication. Join us for our ALS Learning Series with Rachael Marsden, Nurse Consultant and Care Centre Coordinator for the Oxford MND Care & Research Centre in Oxford, United Kingdom. Rachael will provide guidance for people living with ALS and their ALS care teams to help start conversations and offer solutions for intimacy and sexual expression.
