Paediatric Cardiology Virtual Online Parents’ Group: Supporting Children, Young People and Families who are Living with a Heart Condition
ECHO, together with the The Evelina London Paediatric Cardiology Team, host a monthly online group (hosted on Microsoft Teams) for parents and carers who have a child with a heart condition.
The group is a safe space for parents to share experiences and ideas with one another around supporting your child and family’s emotional well-being. You will have an opportunity to know more about supporting your child with their emotions and behaviour, and helping them to cope with their heart condition and treatment.
