We know that supporting your child whilst they are in hospital for treatment can be very stressful and worrying for parents, who often have to put on a brave face.

If you are currently coping with stress, anxiety and/or depression and your child is being cared for within Evelina London Children’s Hospital we recommend you:

• Speak to the nurse in charge of your child’s care and explain how you are feeling, they will be able to refer you for support
• Make a referral for support from ECHO’s Cardiac Support Worker
• Make a referral for support to the psychology and counselling teams within Guys’ & St Thomas’ Hospital Trust
• Contact the chaplaincy team (spiritual healthcare) within Evelina London Children’s Hospital
