Hi @Eunea sorry to hear how you're feeling. We understand it can be overwhelming at times but we are here to help you Are you or your daughter currently in receipt of any benefits?Disability Gamechanger - 2019

Scope will be able to help in many ways with specific and general advice, however one new service that might help if your daughters diagnosis is recent, within the last year, is the Navigate Parent mentoring service, which offers six weeks of support to yourself as the parent and is able to offer advice and signposting within a number of areas including financial concerns and your work life balance. The number for this service is 0808 801 0510. I hope this fits your requirements, if you do not feel that you fit this service the other number you could try for other levels of advice would be the helpline. That number is 0808 800 3333

@Ami2301 am not in any benefit. Actually am not in UK, in my country it's hard getting benefits

Sorry Eunea, unfortunately the Navigate service is only available in Wales and England, I hope you find some help locally.

Hi @Eunea, it can be really difficult fitting in caring for someone and work. Do you have anyone supporting you at all? How does your daughter get to her therapy sessions currently?Community Manager
