Classes & Support Groups

A new diagnosis can create a swirl of emotions and plenty of questions, whether you’re the patient, a caregiver, or a family member.

At the Ayer Neuroscience Institute, we provide resources that empower you with knowledge and support. Below, you’ll find resources --from webinars with experts to support groups with other patients and family members --to help answer your questions about diet, exercise, how to manage symptoms, and calm any fears.

We also offer classes to educate patients on the latest advances in minimally-invasive and robotic-assisted procedures so that you feel comfortable before undergoing treatment.
