Pathways Program

The Pathways program provides families with education and comprehensive support throughout the first year of diagnosis. Through innovative ways, we connect members with services, both locally and collectively. We equip and strengthen families to manage care and establish resources needed for the MPS and ML journey.

Pathways is led by National MPS Society staff members. To get started, email [email protected] or call 919-806-0101, and our family support team will welcome you and get you started in the program.

Pathways includes:

• An assessment of current needs for the individual with MPS or ML and the whole family
• Connection with others for support and firsthand experience
• Sharing of National MPS Society resources and programs
• Face-to-face visitation with a trained Society professional

• Provision of emotional support
• Education about MPS and ML
• Developing plans for coping and resiliency
• Information about Centers of Excellence and medical providers familiar with specific needs
