Experimental Treatment
Group I: PwMS eSupport GroupsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
12-weeks active treatment of eSupport Health's Weekly Group Sessions, a formal semi-structured program of psychoeducational support delivered in a small group format by licensed therapists who specialize in MS. The active treatment period will follow a 12-week waitlist period that will be used to enable a within-subject control design. Note that the very first group enrolled (N~10) will not have a 12-week waitlist period but will instead enter directly into the 12-week treatment.
