Celebrating Carers Week by introducing the plan for our new online carers meetings
Caring for someone who has Huntington's disease can be emotionally and physically challenging and very isolating. Because Huntington's disease is a rare condition, it can be difficult to meet and talk with other people who are carers and who understand the issues you may be facing. Due to the restrictions on all our lives that have been imposed by measures taken to combat COVID-19, this situation has been made even more acute.
In response to this, the Huntington's Disease Association is setting up monthly online Zoom meetings to give carers the chance to meet up, chat and share advice and support - all without having to leave home. There has been a keen response to an initial request for expressions of interest and over the next few weeks, we will be contacting people as we set up the carers groups. The first group meetings will be taking place at the beginning of July.
If you are a carer for someone with Huntington's disease and would like to join one of our online carers meetings or would just like to know more about it please contact Specialist Adviser, John Gregor on 07900922522 or email john.gregor@hda.org.uk.
