Emotional support matters to people living with long-term conditions in Scotland

The Scottish Government and Long Term Conditions Alliance Scotland (LTCAS) have published a new report, Emotional Support Matters, highlighting the need for better psychological and emotional support for people who live with long term conditions.

In partnership with the Scottish Government, LTCAS held two open space events with the aim of speaking to as many people interested in this area as possible. They asked people with long-term conditions and also those who support them what needs to change to improve emotional and psychological support.

Although the key topic of the day was the emotional and psychological needs of people with long-term conditions, the discussions were far reaching. This underpins the fact that every interaction, every encounter has a potential impact on emotional and psychological wellbeing.

The report outlines what people said and what they think needs to happen to see real change in this area.
