Dr Sarah Gunn (Associate Fellow), University of Leicester:
Building connections and support for people affected by Huntington’s disease
28 May, 2025, 12:00-1:00pm
Sarah is a clinical psychologist and a lecturer in clinical psychology. She has been working with families affected by Huntington’s disease (HD), a life-limiting, neurodegenerative condition, for over ten years. HD brings huge physical and emotional impacts for affected individuals and their loved ones, and two of the biggest problems reported by people from “HD families” are poor mental wellbeing and isolation. In this talk, Sarah will discuss the work she is undertaking to build networks and mental health support for people affected by HD and their families.
