Share, Support and Speak Out
We understand the importance of the support you receive from other parents. WellChild has a growing network of parents and carers, all of whom have children who are seriously ill with a long term condition or complex health needs.
“Having a sick child, your routine changes so much. You are in your own little world, which is very isolating, and can make things feel worse. You need connections with other people." Steve, dad of Molly aged 16 and Hannah aged 19.
We have set up the following ways you can become a part of the WellChild family – so that you can share, support and speak out in the easiest way for you:
 |
Join our 'WellChild Families' group
Visit our Facebook page, and request to join our private area for families. Only open to WellChild families, this closed group gives you a safe and private space to share information, access mutual support, and tell us about issues that you are facing. View the group here. |
 |
Follow us on Twitter
Follow ‘@WellChildFams’ to be part of a network of parents as well as local and national support groups and find out about our campaigns and projects. You can also help us to raise awareness of the issues facing families and spread news. |
 |
Sign up to the WellChild blog
Go to Wellchildfamilies.wordpress.com – for articles and stories, including those from guest bloggers. Or, if you already have a blog, become part of our ‘WellChild Family Bloggers Network’. It’s a great way to share your story... |
If you are unsure of the above option to choose or would like to learn more about going online then follow the link here. This section provides resources to going online and the steps we have taken to help ensure parents safety when doing so.
We want to reach out to as many families as possible throughout the UK. Download our Connecting Families leaflet and share with others who you think may also benefit from this.
