Support for people living with MND
If you have been diagnosed with motor neuron disease (MND), we can help you in a wide range of ways.
Our wellbeing and practical services can help you to feel more in control, lessen your anxiety and better manage your situation so that you can make precious memories with your loved ones and make time count.
Our expert information, advice and support can help you understand your illness better, prepare for the future and improve your quality of life.
Wellbeing Support
Being diagnosed with MND can be overwhelming. You may experience a range of difficult emotions and feel isolated and lonely.
These feelings may be something you struggle to talk to your family and friends about. You can speak to your MND clinical nurse specialist. They can provide you with emotional and practical support and help with a wide range of other issues.
MND Scotland is also here to provide a listening ear and give you the support you need. You can contact us on 0141 332 3903 (9am to 5pm, Mon to Fri) or support@mndscotland.org.uk.
