After nearly eight years of working with Amwell, an online telehealth platform, HDSA has ended this partnership. The decision was not made lightly, as we recognize the importance of mental health support for people living with HD. However, use of the counseling services declined to the point it was not financially responsible to continue the investment. We appreciate the work done by Amwell and the providers attached to the HD program, and hope that individuals from the HD community that are using the service will speak to their providers about continuing sessions using their insurance.
