We are a community forum for parents and carers of disabled children and young people, up to the age of 25, who live in Ealing.

The Ealing Parent Carer Forum (EPCF) is much more than just a place to talk and share views and experiences.

We believe that the best support our parents and carers receive is from each other. This is why we create and promote opportunities for parents and carers to come together.

When we come together, EPCF take note of the issues raised and bring them to the attention of the Local Authority, Education, Health and Social Care teams and work with them to improve services and support for our families.

Sending a message is free, and we'll usually reply within a day. Writing to a counsellor can give you the space to say what you want and to ask questions.

You can say as much or as little as you feel able to. If you're not sure what to write, you could start by including:

A little about yourself, like your name and how old you are

What's been happening or what's on your mind, and how it makes you feel

Any questions you might have, and what you'd like to happen in the future

A title that says what you'd like to talk about

You don't need to write a lot if you don't want to, but it can help to include all the information the counsellor might need to know - if a counsellor needs to ask for more information, it can take longer to get help.

Writing an email can help you to get out your feelings, don't forget you can use your mood journal to record how you're feeling any time.

Call us on 0800 1111. Calls are free from landlines and mobiles in the UK. And they won't show up on your phone bill. Even if you don't have credit on your mobile phone you can still call us for free.

Calls are not recorded and our number won't show up on any phone bills. Counsellors write some notes about what you tell them. Childline is confidential, that means we'll only tell someone else if:

you ask us to

we believe your life or someone else's life is in danger

you're being hurt by someone in a position of trust who is able to hurt other children like a teacher, religious leader, sports coach, police officer or doctor

you tell us that you're seriously hurting another person

you tell us about another child who's being hurt and is not able to tell someone or understand what is happening to them

we're told we have to by law, for example for a court case.

Live in the Channel Islands?
Calls may be chargeable from mobiles and the number will appear on your mobile bill. To call us free from the Channel Islands, try using a landline or phone box. Or contact a counsellor online using 1-2-1 counsellor chat.

Calling from abroad?
If you go abroad and need to contact Childline, you might be charged. But you can still get support and advice from our website.

Calling from Guernsey?
If you're calling from Guernsey and Airtel is your mobile phone provider, you'll need to dial 0044800 1111 to speak to a counsellor.

Lots of young people have told us that talking on the phone feels too scary, or that they're worried about being overheard.

Talking on the phone can help in lots of ways, and the more you do it the easier it can feel. If you want to call but you're struggling, if can help to:

Try dialling the number but not saying anything
This can help you to see what calling is like. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to, or you could talk about something that interests you.

Ask questions
When you get through to Childline, you can ask as much as you want about how we work.

Find the best place to talk
Find somewhere quiet where you can focus if you can.

Take your time
Childline counsellors understand that it's not easy to talk, and they can help you to feel more confident. Remember, if you can't talk on the phone right now, you can start by using the 1-2-1 chats or sending an email using your Childline account.

Any time you're ready, you can call us on 0800 1111.

It can take longer to get through at night, but there are things you can do while you're waiting to get the best from your chat:

Write down what you'd like to talk about
Writing down or practicing what you want to say can make it easier when you get through; it can also help you to feel better. If you've written down what you want to say but can't wait, try sending it in an email to us, a counsellor will reply as soon as they can.

Think about what you want from your 1-2-1 chat
For example, would you like to feel differently, or get some tips on how to cope? Thinking about what you want from your chat can help your counsellor support you. But it's always okay if you're not sure what you want.

Choose one thing to focus on
When you've got lots going on it can be difficult talking about it all, focusing on one thing can help you get the most out of your chat.

There are lots of things you can do to cope while you're waiting for a counsellor. Try distracting yourself by playing a game or getting support on the message boards.

If you don't feel able to wait for a counsellor, it can help to talk to an adult you trust.

If you contact us, we'd want to make sure you're safe. So we might ask you where you are and who you're with, as well as how you're feeling. This can help us understand your situation.

We might feel that you're unsafe if you're:

thinking about running away tonight

out and not wanting to go home

out alone late at night with no shelter, food or drink

having thoughts or urges to self-harm or feeling suicidal

harming yourself

taking or are thinking about taking drugs or a lot of alcohol

at risk of being abused overnight

out with a gang, or at risk of being forced to commit a crime or getting hurt.

We want to support you and help you find ways to cope. And we'd always try to let you know if we need to get help to you in an emergency.

If you're worried or need support at night, you could try asking an adult you trust for help.

When you're feeling stressed or upset it can be difficult to know what to do. But there are ways to feel more relaxed while you're waiting to get through to a counsellor.

You can:

sign into your locker to get your feelings out with our mood journal

express how you feel using the Art box

listen to soothing music or make a playlist you enjoy

try our balloon game and watch your worries float away

focus on your breathing to manage your anxiety. Take deep, slow breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Contact Childline with SignVideo
SignVideo lets you contact a counsellor through a BSL interpreter. You can use it between Monday - Friday, 8am - 8pm and on Saturdays, 8am - 1pm.

How to use SignVideo:

open SignVideo and click "allow webcam"

when you're connected, an interpreter will appear on your screen

you can chat to the interpreter in BSL

they'll translate your conversation to the counsellor.

Contacting us in Welsh / Childline ar gyfer pobl ifanc sy'n siarad Cymraeg
We don't offer a full Welsh speaking counselling service. But we do have some Welsh speaking counsellors. If you contact us (by phone or online) and let us know you'd like to talk to someone in Welsh we can arrange a time for you to speak to a Welsh speaking counsellor.

Childline is a free number, so anyone can call us at any time. Every young person who contacts us is important and we do our best to answer every call as quickly as possible.

A small number of people, often adults, call us for reasons other than getting help or support. We try to stop these calls and help them get support from other places. But sometimes these callers still try to phone Childline again and again. Sometimes so much that it can stop young people getting through.

Because of this we put a limit on the number of times someone can call us from the same phone number in a single day. This is 10 calls in a 24 hour period.

If you do call us more than 10 times in a 24 hour period you'll hear a message telling you that you can't call for another 24 hours.

Even if this has happened you can still get support from our info and advice pages and you can contact using the 1-2-1 counsellor chats or by emailing.

We do our best to answer every call as soon as possible. Sometimes having to wait to get through to a counsellor can be difficult. But it's best to stay on the line if you can. Hanging up and calling back means you'll go to the back of the queue.

What

Circle is a hub space and café that offers support for young people in Ealing who are at, or near crisis point with their mental health.

Most of the young people attending A&E for mental health support are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviour and suicidality risks. The earlier a young person gets support for their mental health, the more effective that support will be.

That's why Circle exists: to provide mental health support early, and prevent things getting worse.

Young people can come in for advice, support, or just to talk, with drop-in or appointment-based services.

What is at Circle?

2 therapy rooms for 1-1 consultations and meetings​

A sensory room

Open space for groups ​and workshops

Café and welcoming reception area ​

Small outside courtyard space

Space accessible to public transport

Circle's Aims:

To reduce the number of young people presenting to A&E in crisis.

To provide a safe space and clinically trained staff to help young people who visit Circle in an emotional or mentally overwhelmed state to de-escalate their heightened state of distress.

To provide a space where young people and parents can be supported and guided to access appropriate services.

Prevent children and young people going into an acute crisis state requiring emergency hospital-based intervention or support.

For enquiries about the service please contact [email protected] , or call 020 3475 0060
