We know supporting a child with a chronic illness is difficult.

Apart from dealing with the fear and stress that can accompany initial diagnosis, you also have to manage the day-to-day anxieties about your child’s health, medications and hospital appointments, the impacts on siblings and changing dynamics within family units, and the uncertainty about the future. Which is quite a lot to deal with.
