13. Healios C&YP service has received impressive feedback
"We were initially dubious
about online help however,
it has been more personable
than we thought it would
be. We all heard the same
thing and avoided
misunderstanding. There is a
huge difference in our
family, we work well
together and we are
stronger”
Mum of boy aged 17
”Speaking to the Healios
clinician online was
completely natural for us as a
family because my sister lives
in the States and we speak in
this way all the time”
Mum of boy aged 16
"We could see how quickly
our daughter got to grips
with the various tools and
she got on really well with
her therapist. Doing it all
online was really appealing
and exciting for her”
Mum of girl aged 9
”Breathing techniques
really help calm the
situation and help ease my
anxiety”
