Due to the Covid-19 crisis, we’ve been unable to hold our regular public information events, and are limited on the amount of calls we can take as we’re all working from home. We understand how isolating migraine is and that this current time is making it even more isolating. We also understand how worried and stressed we all are, migraineur or not, so to try to help with the stress, worry isolation and migraine attacks, our amazing Acting Regional Development Officer Sadhbh Armstrong has put together an online programme which will be available to anyone who wants to participate.
The speakers and presenters you will see and hear have all provided their services free of charge and MAI would like to thank them sincerely for their help and generosity.
