Having a child with asthma or suspected asthma can have a big impact on the whole family. Meeting with other families in a similar situation can be helpful and comforting. Our Parent Carer Support Network is a safe and friendly place to talk to other people who understand.
Our meetings are open to anyone who looks after a child with asthma. This could include parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles. You can chat to experienced doctors and nurses and ask any questions you like. You can also learn about the latest information and advice on how to manage your child’s asthma.
When your child is diagnosed with asthma, or their asthma gets worse, it can be very scary and overwhelming. It is important to talk about your feelings and experiences with others. You are not alone, and we are here for you.
Online meetings
We hold a free online meeting over Zoom every month for parents and carers of children with asthma. Each meeting has a different topic. Come along and meet our kind and knowledgeable healthcare professionals.
