This service provides hour-long 1-1 telephone appointments with a family support adviser. Listening Ear focuses on emotional support and reassurance, with practical help available too. Their parent advisers are not only professionals with extensive experience but also parents of children and young people with disabilities.
To make the most of your appointment, please book a time when you can talk freely in a safe and quiet place. Appointments are 45 minutes long. Booking is simple: choose your preferred day and time slot, complete the short form, and you'll receive an email confirmation.
Appointments are regularly updated and subject to availability. Listening Ear is here to support you every step of the way.
