Our first carers workshop was held in 2007. The focus was specifically on the needs of those who live with and care for someone with Huntington’s disease.
Since 2007 we have had two well attended workshops taking place in Cuisle (our annual get together) and we have follow up meetings in Dublin and Cork throughout the year.
As Huntington’s disease is a rare condition; isolation is often felt by those caring for a loved one. The workshops allow carers to meet and share their struggles and concerns with others in similar situations; this serves as a support to those who attend.
The space also provides tips on how carers can start to adopt a more positive approach to looking after their own needs.
The Dates of upcoming workshops will be published in our quarterly newsletters. Or you can give us a phone call and we can tell you when and where the next one will be taking place. Tel: 01 872 1303
