Brighton and Hove Face 2 Face

Face 2 Face is coming to Brighton and Hove! This free and confidential service will be provided by trained parent befrienders who themselves have experience of parenting a child with an impairment or additional need, providing emotional support at time of diagnosis, change or difficulty.

The service is being set up in the city and the aim is to offer one-to-one befriending as well as coffee mornings, information sessions and other opportunities for parents and carers to get together. 

Launching in the early summer, we are looking for parent carers who would like to train as a befriender. A commitment of just one day a week for a period of eight to nine weeks within school hours is required. 

If you are interested in being matched with a befriender and would like to go on our waiting list or would like to know more about the scheme or training as a befriender please contact Amanda Mortensen by phone on 07436 810608 or via email at amanda.mortensen@scope.org.uk
