Our Youth Providers provide support, information, resources, and opportunities for young people, such as:
- One to one support: Meet with and talk to a dedicated Specialist Youth Advisor regularly to help cope with the challenges you face at home and to prepare for what could lie ahead.
- Group sessions and peer support: Meet other young people your own age from Huntington’s disease families to learn together and share experiences to reduce feelings of isolation and open up new friendships.
- Residential breaks and camp: Our annual Summer Camp and residential breaks are free of charge so you can enjoy some ‘me’ time with friends, build resilience and develop coping strategies.
- Activity days: We bring young people together for more localised activity sessions throughout the year to enjoy time with friends and our Specialist Youth Advisors.
