We work to build a community for these groups where they can access peer support and information following discharge from hospital. Our peer support group meetings – Heart Family Fridays – take place in locations through the country on the last Friday of every month.
We provide psychological support for parents and people with CHD who are experiencing anxiety, depression and other issues relating to having or caring for someone with this serious life-long medical condition. Our service offering includes one-to-one sessions with a clinical psychologist, online information webinars and play therapy.
When children/adults are discharged from hospital on warfarin medication, we fund self-test devices which allow them to monitor their INR readings from home.
