Wellbeing Hub: Emotional Respite

Tue 7 Jul 2026 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM BST Online, Zoom

About the Hub:

Living with a neuromuscular condition can affect more than physical health. Changes in energy, routine, identity, and day-to-day life can sometimes bring feelings of stress, anxiety, uncertainty, frustration, or isolation.

In this month’s Wellbeing Hub, Helen Rutherford from Emotional Respite will explore living well with a neuromuscular condition and share practical approaches to managing stress, change, and building resilience.

Helen has pre-recorded this presentation for us to share during the session. Afterwards, Helen or a member of her team will join live on Zoom for questions and discussion.

If you would prefer to send a question in advance, please email us at getintouch@mdsupportcentre.org and we can ask on your behalf. 

Our Wellbeing Hubs are free to attend, but donations are always welcome to support our services and therapies.

Meet your host:
