Celebrate pride month with the MND Association. MND does not discriminate, it can affect anybody – including the LGBTQ+ community.
In this episode we bring together Sam, who is living with MND, and Angela who is a volunteer at Opening Doors, a charity providing information and support services specifically for LGBTQ+ people over 50 in the UK. They discuss some of the challenges such as preconceived assumptions or barriers to healthcare and why inclusive health and social care is vital for all people living with MND.
They are joined by MND Association Chief Executive, Sally Light, who explains what we are doing to improve inclusivity so that everyone feels comfortable accessing our services.
