I feel happier, and more able to express myself. I knew I was angry and unhappy, but I didn't know I needed counselling.” ✨ To mark #ChildrensHospiceWeek, we’re asking five children, young people, and their families - who have all felt the benefits of our hospice services - exactly what Derian does for them 🫢 Jessica has very complex needs that require 24/7 care from Roy and his family, and visits Derian House quite regularly 🏑 Jessica's dad, Roy, accesses counselling sessions with our Family Counsellor, John, which is a vital part of the service that we offer families at Derian House. They can help both in helping to cope with the day-to-day difficulties of living with a poorly child, as well as bereavement support πŸ•―οΈ Together for Short Lives | Hospice UK | #CHW πŸ’š
