Family Support Team
Our Family Support Team offers free, confidential support for people who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, and those who care for them.
We work alongside other health and social care services to help people through this difficult time. We are here to listen and assist with the stresses, difficulties and changes that may occur while living with a life-limiting illness. Advice is given for practical issues such as finances, benefits, housing or accessing appropriate services.
The team is made up of a social worker, counsellors and volunteer support workers.
Support and counselling is available to anyone living with a life-limiting condition. If people are looking after someone with a life-limiting illness, assistance is available to identify feelings and concerns and to help provide or arrange support to meet individual needs.
We also provide specialist support to children and young people who are close to an adult with a life-limiting illness. In a child friendly way we enable children to communicate their feelings and concerns.
