3DN conducted a study to describe and understand the mental health needs of people with motor neurone disease (MND) and how they use mental health services. We used linked data from a large sample of people with MND in NSW.

We created fact sheets for people with MND, carers, and health professionals to give a summary of what we found, and what this may mean for people with MND.

For people with MND:

• Fact sheet
   
• Fact sheet - plain English version
   
• Postcard to take to GPs and neurologists – print this postcard and take to your doctor

For families, friends, and carers of people with MND:

• Fact sheet

For health professionals:

• Fact sheet
   
• Poster – a 1-page summary

We have made a toolkit for people with intellectual disability and their supporters about palliative care for people with intellectual disability.

There is information in Easy Read, and an Easy Read story about a made-up person called Joe getting good palliative care.
