Research poster for “The Journeys of Non-Affected Parents Within Families with Huntington’s Disease”

I am Elizabeth (Lizzie) Furr and l am a trainee clinical psychologist. I am looking for participants to tell their stories in a one-off hour-long interview and help answer the following question for my doctoral thesis:
How do individuals navigate the changes in demands and roles of parenting children and caring for their partner with Huntington's disease over time?

If you are a non-affected parent who:
• Has at least one child over the age of 16
• And a partner with HD who has been living at home with your children (while your children were under the age of
21) and experiencing physical and/or other symptoms of
HD impacting on daily life for 3 or more years
This can be retrospective e.g., your children or partner no longer live at home but there was a period of 3 years when they both did then you would be eligible to take part.

If you want to take part or would like to know more, please contact the main researcher, Lizzie Furr, on:
