SRNA is proud to partner with Can Do Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS), a non-profit that provides health and wellness education, coaching support, and resources for people with MS and their support partners. For nearly 40 years, CDMS has delivered programs to the MS community that have resulted in increases in all these areas. Through SRNA’s partnership with CDMS, this TAKE CHARGE® Program is being expanded to those with rare neuroimmune disorders.
We invite adults who have been diagnosed with a rare neuroimmune disorder (ADEM, AFM, MOGAD, NMOSD, ON and TM), parents, care partners and loved ones to register and join this program.
Take charge of your life! This in-depth program provides personalized guidance and support from people on similar journeys.

Why Attend?
Join this one-of-a-kind virtual program to learn, set goals, and create healthy changes for your life. Plus, meet other people living with rare neuroimmune disorders who “get it”—all in a positive, safe, at-home environment.
At this program, you’ll be empowered to take action for your wellness, manage your symptoms, and find your own way to thrive.
Topics covered will include:
- Coping and adapting to change
- Managing movement and daily activity
- Achieving restorative sleep
You will learn:
- SMART goals: You’ll map out a personal plan for success with help from specialized care professionals
- Conversation starters: Tools to talk to your healthcare team, loved ones, and support partner
- Lasting connections: The friendships made in these two days can last a lifetime and so much more!
We highly encourage your support partner (spouse, significant other, family member, friend) to attend with you. Often support partners discover a new sense of understanding and connection that they can’t find anywhere else.
What to Expect
During the program, you and your support partner will:
- Get your questions answered by an integrated team of specialists and doctors.
- Develop personal goals for you to manage your symptoms and keep up with the things you love.
- Get the support you need through workshops specific to people with rare neuroimmune disorders and support partners.
