ADOA and ADOA-plus have a significant impact on the daily lives and mental health of patients and their loved ones. Due to the ongoing loss of abilities, they often go through a process of 'living loss' and recurring grief.
To provide mental health care providers with concrete tools, we have developed the brochure 'How to support the mental health of people with ADOA and ADOA-plus'.
What is in the brochure?
🔹 Practical do's & don'ts for the consultation or treatment room.
🔹 A clear picture of the focus points for different life stages.
🔹 Insights into the different roles and themes for people with ADOA(-plus) and their loved ones.
Feel free to share this leaflet with your own GP, practice nurse (POH), coach, psychologist, psychiatrist, or other healthcare professional.
🙏 With special thanks to Malinda Marsh (LHON Collective, United States) and Ewout van Egmond and Yvonne Kruithof (Bartiméus). They helped to realize this valuable brochure!
