Face-2-Face provides emotional and practical support to parent-carers of children during the period of their child's diagnosis. Our team of specially trained befrienders can help parents learn more about their child's diagnosis, share their experience of caring for a child with additional needs, find out about and access other services and prepare for the journey ahead.

What we do

• Our befriending service is currently delivered to parents via phone or Zoom.
• Initially the coordinator makes contact and parents are matched with a befriender.
