Counselling Service
Finding ways to cope following the diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease can be incredibly difficult. It has a huge impact on the entire family and is a heavy weight to bare. Everyone processes the news differently and not everyone wants to talk about it.
But for those who do, it can be very useful to speak to a counsellor. The IMNDA provides funding for counselling sessions for registered clients and one of their family members. The IMNDA also offer a grant for Bereavement Counselling for two family members or caregivers of an IMNDA client.
“People don’t realise until it happens to them that it’s the whole family that gets the diagnosis, not just the person. We all had to learn to cope and adapt to our new normal. It was very stressful but having access to a counsellor, thanks to IMNDA funding, really helped.”
