Family Support for parents

This is a Claimed service
Delivered by: Action for M.E. This is a Claimed organisation
Last reviewed: 17/08/2022

We are here for parents or family members of a child or young person with the symptoms of M.E., CFS or post-viral fatigue syndrome; they don't need to have a confirmed diagnosis. We can:

1. share key information and support, along with a range of free resources
2. help identify and prioritise key areas of concern you want to address
3. offer emotional support via active, empathic listening, and support self-advocacy
4. signpost to our Children and Young People’s Advocacy Officer

While our Family Support service does not offer medical, legal or welfare benefits advice, ongoing advocacy support, or counselling/specialist mental health support, we can signpost to agencies that do.
