Caring and MND: support for you - main carer guide

1. We welcome your views on our guide for carers - Caring and MND: support for you

Our guide for carers, Caring and MND: support for you, provides suggestions on wellbeing for anyone who is caring for someone with MND. This can be difficult with the increasing challenges of the disease, but the MND Association is here for carers too, including carers of people with Kennedy's disease, which has similar symptoms to MND.

We'd love to know what you think works well in the guide and what could improve to help people with or affected by MND or Kennedy's disease.

Complete the short questionnaire below and respond to all the questions if you can. Please ensure these views are your own and thank you for your valuable assistance.

Please be aware that your comments may be used as anonymous quotes to support our work, or raise awareness through campaigning or fundraising bids. This can really help to improve understanding and make a difference for all those affected by the condition.

If you need support or wish to contact us at the MND Association, email our helpline MND Connect on: mndconnect@mndassociation.org or telephone 0808 802 6262
