Dystonia is a unique and individualized disorder. It affects people in different ways both physically and emotionally.
Support is a critical piece to understanding and dealing with dystonia.
The Dystonia Foundation offers a range of support options to fit the needs of affected individuals and their families. They can provide companionship, offer valuable adaptive strategies, and lessen the loneliness and isolation that may play role a in chronic disorders. Support groups also provide people a chance to give of themselves, and, when doing so, help others and themselves. The Dystonia Foundation also sponsors a host of programs aimed at various age groups and population segments to help enhance the lives of people with dystonia. Children, young adults, and parents' programs offer opportunities to network and learn from one another.
