The Edinburgh Support Group is run by PSPA volunteers Jackie Brierton and Douglas Duncan.

Our new PSPA Support Group in Edinburgh was set up out of a need to have a space where families affected by PSP & CBD can come together in person, meet others in a similar situation and share experiences. It will take place every 2 months and complement the existing online Scotland Support Group.

It would be great to see as many of you there as possible, and Amanda Pottaya, the Helpline Care Navigator in Scotland, will attend and speak about the services the Helpline can offer and how to access them. Please let us know if you can attend by emailing volunteering@pspassociation.org.uk.

MY PERSONAL GUIDE

To help you understand how PSP & CBD may impact you and your family, we have produced a handy guide to the conditions.

As well as information about the conditions, you will find details to help you get to grips with the changes in your symptoms and plan ahead.
