Educating the Community

Huntington’s Disease is a complicated disease. Living with the disease can be very tough, not just for the person with HD but the everyone impacted.

The disease affects each person differently and because it is a rare disease, many people including healthcare professionals aren’t aware of it.

There are also lots of things going on in the world of HD research that can be difficult to understand.

HDYO provides educational resources in easy-to-understand formats. We know this is really important when it comes to improving knowledge for families and the wider community and helps people cope with HD in their lives.
