Living Life to the Full for Carers with Children or Young People Facing Illness
Written by Dr Chris Williams, a medical Doctor and Emeritus Professor of Psychosocial Psychiatry at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, this course will help you think about how your child’s illness or long term health condition is affecting you – and help you make some key changes in how you offer them support, that can make a real difference to how you feel.
The course also covers how your child can live their life to the full despite their illness, and how to make time for you, your partner and other children in your family.
The course has been developed based on detailed advice from expert staff working with parents and carers in Robin House Children’s Hospice in Balloch just outside Glasgow.
