Topic: Defining Hope: Living with ALS provides an overview of ALS including symptoms, diagnosis, progression, and treatment. We will discuss what quality of life means for those with this life-changing terminal diagnosis, how as helping professionals we can support people with ALS at home or in a community based setting, and what resources are available to help.
Speaker: Rachelle Preston, MSW CSWA, has always been interested in people and how to help them. She has worked 8+ years in social services. She graduated with her Masters in Social Work degree from Portland State University in 2012 and is a Clinical Social Work Associate actively pursuing her clinical licensure.
