Register or Login hereIt’s an place for people with MS and their supporters, to come together, connect with others living well with MS, and most importantly to provide hope for a full life with MS. You can access it on a computer or download it via your App store to use it on a smart phone.
The Live Well Hub hosts all our Overcoming MS Circles and contains other great content like our Discover Overcoming MS sessions, 6 Months to Overcoming MS course and chat feeds where you can freely ask questions of other community members or share your successes!
We worked with volunteers from across the Overcoming MS community to find a platform that would make it easier for the community to connect with each other. We wanted to create a space for people following Overcoming MS to come together and share resources, questions, and tips. After trialing the platform, our volunteers told us:
“I liked that it had a community feel to it”.
“I enjoyed the fact that it’s an app and I can access Overcoming MS content with more privacy”.

Overcoming MS Circles are small groups within the Overcoming MS community, bringing together people who share a common interest, experience or focus. They may also live near each other and meet up in person.
Circles are spaces for peer support, connection and shared learning. They offer opportunities to socialise, exchange ideas and build relationships with others who understand what it’s like to live with MS.
Circles are community-led and supported by trained volunteers, known as Circle Ambassadors, who help facilitate conversations and keep the space welcoming and inclusive.

We are so grateful to all our Hub members who have helped grow such a welcoming and supportive community for everyone affected by MS. Some of our Hub members share how the Hub has helped them.
Bill:
“I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS (PPMS) in May 2023. I found the Overcoming MS website within a couple of weeks and it didn’t take long for me to join the Live Well Hub. It felt like a true family right away. Everyone was so welcoming and also very warm, sharing and uplifting. What struck me right away, was that there wasn’t any ‘negativity’ within the group!”Sue:
“I found Overcoming MS in April 2023. This wonderful community is and was always there. I posted in the Hub on my most challenging days, and the support I received from everyone was the most valuable thing of all! I felt no need to explain anything and was able to talk openly about all of my most intimate and sensitive thoughts. This is so incredibly valuable and helpful. The support of the group motivates me and gives me strength.”Wendy:
“I was diagnosed in March 2021 and I joined the Live Well Hub when it launched. I wanted to engage with other like-minded people, who share the mindset that with the right attitude, change, laughter, and a grateful heart, those with MS can live a happy, healthy life. What I love about the Hub is the opportunity to meet others on a global scale. To socialise, share tips, advice, support, and recipes. MS is a singular condition, but the path tread by each of us overlaps with someone else. No one should have to go it alone.”

Jelinek Journals – We released the Jelinek Journals, a series of audio resources from Professor George Jelinek himself! Find out more about the story behind the Journals here.
Access classes – We’ve created a space for our popular Physical Activity & Meditation classes exclusively in the Hub, which you can watch back and follow at a time that works for you, as well as sharing all the upcoming Overcoming MS events so you can find out what’s coming up and get involved!
The Hub is for absolutely everyone affected by MS around the world. If you live with MS, the Hub is a brilliant space to connect with others who understand what you’re going through, can share your challenges and hopes and can give advice and tips from their own lived experience. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have lived with MS for years, you’re bound to find connections, resources and friendly support in the Hub to help you through your journey.
As well as becoming part of the community in the main feed, you can also join a Circle, a friendly support group. We have local Circles, a Global Circle and several thematic Circles.
Carers and contacts of people with MS – If you’re a carer or have a friend or relative with MS, the Hub is also for you! You can learn more about how you can support people with MS or connect with others in the same situation as you.
Healthcare Professionals – We also welcome Healthcare Professionals into the Hub, with two dedicated Healthcare Professionals Circles where you can find out the latest information on supporting people with MS and connect with others. Why not recommend these groups to your Healthcare Professionals.
The Hub Home is open for everyone who joins, whether you’re in a Circle or not, and is a great place to ask those questions you’ve been wanting to ask others with MS and get insights from others living through the same experiences. It’s a private, safe and supportive space which has helped so many of our community feel less alone and more connected and supported.
“I’m thankful to all the people on the Overcoming MS Hub for their unlimited support and friendship.” – Live Well Hub member
