Cornwall Face 2 Face Scheme

Cornwall Face 2 Face is a free and confidential service, provided by trained parent befrienders, who themselves have experience of parenting a child with a impairment or additional need. Befrienders provide emotional support to other parents at the time of diagnosis, at times of change or difficulty.

With more than 60 befrienders available across the county, the service can offer one-to-one befriending or support through the popular OASIS groups where parents and carers can drop in for a cuppa and a chat. We also provide the opportunity for parents to train as befrienders and as trainers to help deliver training through our Association of Parent Trainers.

In addition to the core Face 2 Face befriending service, the schemes provide information and signposting to parents and professionals on a range of disability services and issues. We have recently been able to offer support to parents bereaved of a child, enabling them to share with others in a similar situation.
