MS Hope programme
Enhance your resilience, rediscover strengths and increase your ability to cope
Hope For The Community CIC are running a group self-management programme for people living with MS to improve their wellbeing.
The Programme was co-created with people living with MS, healthcare professionals and researchers at Coventry University to make sure it is rooted in science.
What will the programme involve?
You will be asked to enrol on a 6 week online Hope Programme. It focuses on you and your wellbeing.
Learn whenever you like, at a pace that suits you. Please note that the Programme is not delivered in a way for people to be on “at the same time”. It takes about 2 hours to go through the materials each week, but you can do this at your own pace and time that suits. Some people do chunks of 20 minutes, some people do more or less whenever they can find the time
Learn wherever you like. You can access the Programme on desktop, tablet or smartphone. You will require an internet connection to complete it
You can learn whatever you like. If you do not enjoy some of the content or activities, just skip it or bookmark it and come back to it later
Share and learn from each other. We all have a story to share and we learn best with others. If you want to, make sure you join in the page discussions, forum topics and by liking and commenting on others posts
Each week the programme covers topics like:
Mindfulness
Gratitude Diaries
Dealing with Setbacks
Goal Setting
Fatigue Management
Challenging Unhelpful Beliefs
Stress Management
Identify Personal Strengths
Healthy Eating
Physical Activity
The programme includes quizzes, worksheets, audio and video materials, interactive activities and social networking via email and forums. There will also be a mindfulness session and an opportunity for the group to come safely together online. You will be supported throughout by trained facilitators who live with MS.
The programme can be accessed from PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. The programme is not delivered in a way for people to be on “at the same time”. You will have access to the programme 24/7. It takes about 2 hours to go through the materials each week, but you can do this at your own pace and time that suits. We deliver the programme to people living with MS around the country and many found the programme helped them to feel better and improved their quality of life.
Next course date: 6th March 2024 – Online
