Are there any services out there that specifically provide mental health support for children/ young adults with Duchenne?

The parent has tried to access support through their health services but hasn't been able to get any.

We are lucky enough to have a Neuromuscular Adviser in Devon and Cornwall, I would usually be asking them for advice.

Where are you based? I would be very sad if the peron's diagnosis has anything to do with them gaining access to support. Are they verbal? I would assume so.

Hi, this might be helpful

Someone to talk to is a peer to peer support where a volunteer is assigned to you to talk about what it’s like to have a deteriorating condition https://www.musculardystrophyuk.org/news/news/peer-support-someone-to-talk-to/
