Forums
POD forums have messages from other carers that may be useful for you to read through, here.

Weekly chat with an expert
You can talk to one of Beat’s Clinical Associate Trainers in real time over webchat.

The chat is open each Monday between 12-1pm. You can find the link on the homepage or launch the chat room, here.
