Hello guys,

I'd like to hear some suggestions on how to support young people who are at risk. 

We have two kids who are 9 & 12, who do know what HD is and that they have a 50% chance of having the gene. 

We do talk openly about things and answer any questions they have. 

What are some suggestions around supporting our young people that you could suggest?

Thanks!
