CENTRAL TIME ZONE

Support group meetings are a great way to socialize and learn with others who are affected by Ataxia. We welcome you to join us! The discussion is led by our volunteer Support Group Leaders, who are looking forward to helping you connect with others.

Meeting Information

May 17 – Link between Anxiety and Ataxia – The topic and presentation will review the following:

– The impact of anxiety on ataxia symptoms
– Strategies for managing anxiety
– The role of support groups and/or a personal therapist in reducing anxiety

Presented by – Christina Rose Newell, Northwest Washington Ataxia Support Group Leader – Yetis, Licensed Mental Health Therapist (previous)

During each Ataxia Connection support group meeting, an outside expert educates the group on a topic of interest to our members. Ataxians and care partners then divide into two groups to discuss the issues and emotions at the forefront of their day with the assistance of certified mental health therapists. Snacks and refreshments are offered. Ataxia Connection’s support group meets on the third Saturday of every other month from 10am – 12noon (new time).

Meetings are held at University of Nebraska’s Community Engagement Center, 6400S University Rd North, Omaha NE, 68182. Join virtually via Zoom if you cannot attend in person.
