WELCOME TO THE
MSUD FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP
The MSUD Family Support Group is a non-profit volunteer-run organization serving families and professionals worldwide. Founded in 1982 when a group of families gathered together for mutual support and shared information, our organization continues to grow and develop resources to meet our goals of support, education, expanded research, and advocacy.
The Goals Of The MSUD Family Support Group Are:
Connect and Engage Families and Professionals:
We provide opportunities for support and personal contact for those with MSUD, their families, and professionals. We connect and engage through our newsletter, eblasts, symposia, and social media.
Research
We strive to improve the lives of those with MSUD by promoting and supporting research that may lead to better treatments and a cure for MSUD.
Advocacy
We improve the lives of those with MSUD by fostering awareness and supporting the enactment of public policies on the State and Federal levels which will further research and improve access to care for individuals with MSUD.
ANNOUNCING THE MSUD FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP PATIENT REGISTRY
Jordann Coleman, a member of the MSUD Family Support Group Board of Directors, introduces the group’s patient registry and encourages the MSUD community to register. Learn about our partnership with Sanford CoRDS and why a registry is so important for future research.
