Our Peer Support Space has been running successfully for some time now, offering MDI members with neuromuscular conditions, a welcoming place to connect, reflect, and explore mindfulness practices together.

Join us for a 2-hour group event led by psychotherapist Farrah, and a 1- hour accessible fitness class with Siel Bleu.
