Adults Support

Adult Community

Caring Matters Now is committed to supporting all those affected by Congenital Melanocytic Naevi. We are continually enhancing the support we offer to our 18+ community. This webpage gives details of the support available to our adult members.

Who can I talk to?

We have a dedicated adult support team, consisting of four adults living with CMN; Katy, Cheryl, Stacey & Anne. The adult support team are available to listen to our adult members, chat, share experiences and answer any questions you may have regarding living with CMN.

Katy Jackson is our Young Adults Contact, providing support for those aged 17–24 years.

My name is Katy, and I live in Hertfordshire. I was born with a CMN on the back of my right knee, which covers about a third of my leg. You can read my story here. My family have been involved with Caring Matters Now almost since the beginning, and now I’m an adult I’m excited to be able to get involved on my own. I’m so honoured that I’ve been given the opportunity to join the adult support team. I am primarily here to provide support to our older teens and young adults, those aged 17 – 24 years, so if you would like to have a chat, I’m here to listen!

My name is Cheryl and I am from Birmingham. I was born with Congenital Melanocytic Nevus and struggled with confidence and self-esteem for many years. I have since learned how to embrace my skin condition which has enabled me to have a better relationship with myself and others around me. You can read my story here. It is an honour to be part of the Caring Matters Now Adult Support Team and support those that have the same condition.

My name is Stacey and I live in Kent. I have a bathing trunk nevus and multiple satellites on my face and body. I found Caring Matters Now when I went to the How Do You C Me Now exhibition in March 2019. Until that day I had never met anybody with the same skin as me. However, since I have made some wonderful new friends, attended gatherings and learned a lot about CMN through this amazing charity. You can read my personal story here.

I am proud to be an Adult Support Contact for Caring Matters Now and if you have any questions or you just want to chat please contact me.

My name is Anne and I have CMN covering my back and multiple moles mainly on my legs. You can read my personal story here. I am delighted to be part of the Adult Support Team and to offer a listening ear to others affected by CMN. If you would like to speak to another adult with CMN, I would be really pleased to hear from you.
