Family Liaison - Support for Parents

Camp Simcha Family Liaison Officers (FLOs) are available 24/7 to provide parents with emotional and practical support.

Whether you have less support, or are surrounded by friends and family, coping with a child suffering from cancer or another serious condition can be isolating. A Camp Simcha FLO is there for you and you alone, whether you need practical support, advice, or just somebody to talk to when things are tough. They are trained to provide unconditional care and support, designed to suit your individual needs, but they are not social workers and there are no forms to complete.

 

FLOs are there to support parents practically and emotionally and to ensure that all members of the family receive the full range of Camp Simcha services as they are needed.

We never pretend that we know how it feels, but our FLOs have years of experience working with families in similar circumstances. At Camp Simcha events, there will be lots of other parents from whom you may gain support and empathy.

Camp Simcha takes confidentiality very seriously. We never forget that we are privileged when parents take us into their confidence and we do everything we can to respect and honour that trust.
