Mission MSA (previously known as the MSA Coalition) is hosting a four-hour virtual event on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, 7am-11am PT. (That’s a little early for us west coast folks!) The three sessions during “MSA Spark” include physical therapy, nutrition (with a dietitian), and mental health (with a social worker and clinical neuropsychologist).
In 2025, we will be asking Northern and Central California researchers (from Stanford, UCSF, etc) to give short, virtual talks on their research on PSP, CBS/CBD, MSA, or LBD. When we are asked by a researcher to help them recruit for their studies, we will invite them to speak with our community members, sharing some background and context for their research.
In general, these short talks will be scheduled for the second Sunday, at 1:15pm. (This may seem like a strange time but it’s at the tail-end of another regular monthly virtual support group meeting.)
If you are a member of our local PSP/CBD, MSA, or LBD support groups, you’ll be invited to these researcher talks. If you’d like to join one of our local support groups, please complete this online form.
If you are a local researcher and would like to speak to our community members, please contact us.
In 2025, the Brain Support Network support group for those with an MSA diagnosis will gather virtually on the first Monday of each month, 3-4pm. Only those who live in Northern or Central California may join. The meetings are loosely facilitated by two local support group members with a diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA).
In 2025, Brain Support Network’s LBD, PSP/CBD, and MSA caregiver-only support group meetings will take place on the second Sunday of each month, with the exception of May, 5-6:30pm. The meetings are open only to those living in Northern or Central California. We alternate between in-person gatherings (even-numbered months) and virtual gatherings (odd-numbered months).
