I worked for a specialized neuro-rehab program for 7 years that had specialized units and programming for people with Huntington’s Disease. I assessed people for admission and offered support to their family members. On occasion, I would help the Liaison in the area assess people in the community who were in need of connection to services.
During this time, I coordinated with the HDSA (Huntington’s Disease Society of America) Liaison to co-run a support group for individuals, family members, and caregivers of people with HD.
I attended three of the HDSA conferences, and assisted with the annual walks.
