Mission

Founded in 1983, the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Society of Quebec is a non-profit community organization. Our mission is:

• to provide support and referrals for people living with ALS and their loved ones;
• to fund research;
• to raise awareness of this disease among the general public, government officials and medical and paramedical practitioners.

Services

The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Society of Quebec is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with ALS and supporting their caregivers. Through our close collaboration with healthcare partners, we are able to offer a variety of programs and services that are complementary to those offered by other organizations.

The needs of people living with ALS and their caregivers change during all stages of the disease, which is why the ALS Society of Quebec offers many different services. Through documentation, conferences, newsletters and a website, people with ALS, caregivers and healthcare professionals can learn more about issues with regard to ALS. A team of dedicated psychosocial counselors offers support to each member of the Society: through orientation meetings, support groups, phone support meetings and a toll-free support line. Social and networking activities help reduce social isolation felt by many.
