Breaking Down Barriers - A Conversation About Cultural Stigmas & HD

HD has no borders and the impacts affect many different cultures across the globe. However, we tend to hear only from certain community members for many reasons. Some of those reasons may include different cultural barriers when it comes to interacting with the advocacy, support and medical/research communities. We were honored to be joined by Dominique Thomas from Ochsner Health in the US, HDYO social worker Jacky Tse, and Ambassador and nurse Juan Carlos from Costa Rica to talk about cultural differences and barriers in their personal communities and those they work with.
This is one of many conversations we will be having to showcase the different impacts HD had globally. Multiple languages will be offered on RUclips through closed captioning.
Breaking Down Barriers is sponsored by Roche Sage Therapeutics Teva Pharmaceuticals Wave Life Sciences uniQure Neurocrine Biosciences and the Griffin Foundation.
