Recognising Your Role as Carer
If you support a family member, partner or friend living with Addison's disease or adrenal insufficiency, you play an important role in helping them stay safe and well. Whether you're learning about Sick Day Rules, recognising the signs of an adrenal crisis or preparing to use an emergency hydrocortisone injection, we're here to help you feel informed, confident and supported.
We're also here to remind you that YOUR health and wellbeing is crucial if you are to be of most benefit!

Get Involved
Many of our members are family, carers or supporters of individuals with a diagnosis of Addison's, secondary or tertiary adrenal insufficiency.
They see, first-hand, the effect of the diagnosis, and are often desperate to do something to help. Supporting the ADSHG is a powerful way to support your loved-one and the wider adrenal insufficiency community.
Explore all the ways you can support us in our mission to support everyone affected to live confidently and thrive!
