Helen Hart is an accredited counsellor (MBACP, MCOSCA) who offers a telephone and email support service to families affected by A-T. She is available for face-to-face consultation at the Family Day where, as part of the day’s programme, she also leads a discussion workshop for parents.
Helen says:
‘All families cope with the continuing effects of the condition on daily family life, Maintaining a balance can be difficult at times, when individuals feel stretched in terms of what is available locally and their own personal resources. Sometimes it can help to talk about things to someone outside your situation and contact the Family Counsellor.’
