FOREWORD
This Publication is provided by the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada’s Fraser Valley Chapter.
All resources are located within the Fraser Valley. The purpose of this publication is to increase
access to resources in the community to people affected by MS.
Realizing you need help can be emotional, whether you are the caregiver or the person needing
care. Figuring out how to find this help can be overwhelming as you may have many questions:
What kind of help do I need?
What kind of help is available?
Where do I start?
This guide will provide information to help you address these questions. Making the decision to
get help is tough enough; getting help should not be.
While not every resource provided in this guide will be suitable for you, we hope you come
across opportunities that will allow you to achieve a healthier, more comfortable lifestyle.
Fraser Valley Resource Guide 2014 7
Additional Resources
The following resources aim to educate people with MS on how to remain independent and
safe at home, or to simply improve their quality of life.
Deciding what kind of help you need can be overwhelming. Once you have a clearer picture of what you need, finding the appropriate support is easier. Creating a worksheet to assess your needs can be helpful in this process. See the National MS Society’s guide: “Hiring Help at Home: The Basic Facts” for a needs assessment worksheet: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/NationalMSSociety/media/MSNationalFiles/Brochures/Brochure-Hiring-Help-at-Home.pdf
