Jenny knew she had to be proactive in seeking help for herself and her husband. She says, “With the Huntington’s Disease Association’s support, I was gradually able to see for myself how Huntington’s disease was affecting me and the profound impact on my family over previous years. I have also encouraged family to seek support.” Both Jenny and her husband have benefited from support groups. Jenny attends a gene-positive group that she set up in her area, and her husband attends a carers group. They have both made friends from these support groups. They have also found support through Huntington’s disease-based therapies that have been part of the charity’s research into better mental health support for people affected by Huntington’s.
