When someone is diagnosed with MND, the effects can ripple across the whole family. Lindsay shares her experience of living with PLS – a form of MND – and how her daughter, Cally, struggled with anxiety and uncertainty following the diagnosis.  

Joined by Emily from the MND Association's Children, Young People and Families Service, the episode highlights the emotional challenges young people can face, from worries about a loved one’s health to balancing school, friendships and future plans. We also discuss the tailored support available from the Association, including counselling, school support, one-to-one guidance, grants, resources and ongoing help for children and young people up to age 25.
