Exploring Peer Support Among People Living with MS

Joan Alaboson, a third-year PhD student in the Department of Psychology at Maynooth University, under the supervision of Drs. Rebecca Maguire and Laura Coffey, is conducting a study in collaboration with a panel of individuals living with MS. This research aims to explore your experiences of peer support* in three key areas:

  1. Your needs and experiences of peer support and how helpful you have found it
  2. Factors that promote or limit your engagement with peers
  3. Your preferences and suggestions to improve peer support. 

*Peer support is defined as an exchange of support between people who have a similar health condition or life experience (i.e., other people living with MS). This may take place in online groups, meet-ups arranged by MS Ireland, MS fora on social media (e.g. MS Facebook groups), amongst others.

We would like to gain perspectives from a variety of people living with different types of MS who are residents of the Republic of Ireland.
