For ALS Caregivers


When a person you love dearly is diagnosed with ALS, you know your life is going to change. Just thinking about becoming the primary caregiver can be stressful and overwhelming.

​But you do not have to figure everything out on your own—and you do not need to know everything right now. Take things one day at a time. The ALS community is caring and strong. Experienced professionals can answer questions and help guide you every step of the way.

How ALS progresses is out of your control. But how you approach it is in your hands. Some caregivers get so focused on supporting their loved one that they neglect their own physical and mental health. We believe that taking good care of yourself will make you a better caregiver.
