Awareness
Families impacted by Huntington's disease often require a wide range of supports and services. It is important to be aware that health and social care professionals may not be familiar with the condition as your family may be their first encounter with Huntington's.
The Huntington's Disease Association of Ireland can get in touch with service providers on your behalf so that together with you we can assist in increasing understanding of the complexities of Huntington’s disease. We are available to provide seminars on 'Understanding Huntington's' to health and social care professionals and health educators. Family members have the best insight into all aspects of Huntington's disease therefore we rely on the participation of people impacted to help in spreading awareness.
You can share our HD Awareness Poster and Information Leaflet to help increase understanding.
Please get in touch if you have suggestions on raising awareness or if you would like to support our awareness work.
