KIDS Hull Befriending
Carers Supporting Carers
Free emotional support for parents and carers who are adjusting to the news of their child's disability or who are experiencing feelings of isolation or loneliness.
This service is delivered by a team of trained volunteer befrienders. Every befriender is a parent or carer too - someone whose own child has a disability.
Parents and carers are matched with befrienders whose child has a similar disability. Befrienders whose child has a similar disability. Befrienders are then able to understand and empathise because of their shared experience.
How to access this service -
