This is what Derian does for me… πŸ’š ''Counsel This is what Derian does for me... πŸ’š ''Counselling at Derian House has really helped me. I'm only now managing to talk about how I feel. 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
