Caregiver and CMT
We can’t stop CMT's impact on someone we care about. But there is a great deal we can do to take responsibility for our well-being.
Presented by: Laura Russell, MSW, LCSW

CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited peripheral nerve condition) can significantly affect not only the person living with it but also the people who care for them. While caregivers cannot stop CMT’s impact on someone they love, there is a great deal they can do to take responsibility for their own well-being.
In this session, Laura Russell shares practical tools, skills, and resources to help caregivers navigate the emotional and logistical challenges that come with supporting someone living with CMT.
