Last Friday parent carers met at our Crawley Chat and Chill coffee morning where Lara and Hannah enjoyed chatting to them and offering signposting advice.
One parent carer shared that it was her first time attending a group like this and she found it very informative listening to others and realising that she isn’t on her own.
Parent carer quote: “It’s been brilliant and informative.”
If you haven’t yet attended one of our Chat and Chill coffee mornings, keep an eye out for our next upcoming events and come along for a hot drink with other parent carers.
Some of the topics discussed were: Transitions, hospital passports, the NHS right to choose pathway as well as sharing general tips between parent carers.
There was also a discussion about benefits advice and we were able to signpost parent carers to a Benefits Advice Roadshow that Reaching Families are running, if this is something that interests you head to this link for more information: https://www.reachingfamilies.org.uk/benefits-advice.html
