HCP presents Mental Health Mondays
2026-07-27 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual: United States, United States
The Mental Health Monday meetings began as a way to address the various mental and emotional concerns that individuals experience when dealing with rare neuroimmune diseases. Patients, caregivers, and loved ones ride the rollercoaster of feelings throughout their daily lives, from the moment of symptom onset. Often, getting the proper diagnosis is a journey of its own, and dealing with life’s difficulties after that can include stressors that only others in your situation may understand. These meetings will offer a safe space for people to come together, share their stories, and highlight how they are coping with everyday challenges. We will discuss a range of mental health topics and have occasional special guest speakers join our meetings. So, whether you are newly diagnosed or a seasoned zebra, we hope to provide a space to help guide personal growth.

TSF's Human Collective Project Meetings

The Human Collective Project (HCP) is TSF’s support group meeting offered to anyone who has been affected/impacted by NMOSD/MOGAD. The program came into existence during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when most NMOSD/MOGAD felt particularly isolated and vulnerable to the coronavirus as immunosuppressed/immunocompromised members of society. The isolation many of us experienced unveiled a great need and opportunity for us to connect in a meaningful way to offer our support to one another. Since 2020, we have expanded the program to offer more sessions in multiple geographies to ensure that everyone in the NMOSD/MOGAD communities feels welcomed and included. As we always say, HCP is a great way to meet others in similar circumstances in this rare community; it is a safe space to laugh, cry, vent, share wins, etc. This program is driven and led by TSF Patient and Caregiver Ambassadors worldwide.
