Living Well with Multiple Sclerosis Living with a long-term degenerative illness such as MS takes a mental and emotional toll, as a well as a physical one. This course provides a tool kit of resources to help you regain an sense of control, confidence and initiative around the MS, and to live creatively with it. The central skill you will learn is mindfulness, which cultivates a rich awareness of ourselves, and our environment, and enables us to slow down and live more fully in the present moment. These courses have been running in Ireland since 2004 and many people with MS have directly benefited from the methods introduced. These include mindfulness, breath awareness, meditation, gentle exercise, pacing and group discussions.

A Breathing Space for Carers This Breathing Space course recognises that the effort of caring for or supporting a relative or friend who is living with a serious long-term illness, such as MS, inevitably takes its toll. Stress can impact directly on both your physical and mental wellbeing without you even being aware of it. It can become increasingly hard to find the space to catch your breath, to find some balance in your life. Through the skill of mindfulness, the central skill taught in this course, carers can learn how to manage and reduce stress and its effects, and find ways to care for themselves, as well as the person in their care. The course is open to all family carers.
