Family Support

This is a Claimed service
Delivered by: Action for ME This is a Claimed organisation
Last updated: 16/12/2025

Does your child’s school struggle to understand ME and the impact it has on your child? Do you want to know more about possible support, and how to work with your child’s school at implementing one? Or perhaps you would like your child’s GP to learn more about ME?


Our Family Support Service is here to help. This service is for parents/carers of children and young people (age 18 and under) with diagnosed or suspected ME, living in the UK. We support families by offering two support options: Accessing education in a needs-appropriate way for your child

Working with professionals such as your child’s GP or social services.


We can offer one 40-minute Working with Professionals Support Session to:

talk through options for your family surrounding healthcare or working with social services, education to

share resources and/or signposting.
