It’s a big experience that you go through, so it’s significant to be able to talk about it and have someone to help you put the pieces together.

A child’s diagnosis and treatment for a heart condition can be challenging for the whole family. Being scared, overwhelmed and uncertain are common feelings. These feelings can place strain on families. 

At the Heart Centre for Children, we are committed to supporting children and families throughout all stages of their medical and emotional care. We work as a team to provide the best possible support, based on research evidence and feedback from families.
