Emotional support

Our Family Support Workers offer emotional support, as having time to talk through concerns is an important protective factor for our families. Difficulties can sometimes leave you feeling lonely, isolated or worried. We will take the time to listen either on the phone, in your home, out on a walk or at one of our hospices. You can tell us what works best for you. We will give you space to talk and will guide you through the challenges you’re facing.

Get in touch

We recognise that there are some days you need emotional support more than other days, and so we encourage you to reach out if you are struggling.

Our Family Support Line is answered by a Family Support Worker Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm. If there is a need for support outside of these hours, email us, leave a voicemail or if urgent call 01483 230960.
