Bear Cottage recognises the pressure stress of supporting an ill child. You may want to talk to someone during your stay at Bear Cottage. 

A social worker is available to meet with you on a confidential and ongoing basis about any issues you or your children may be experiencing. 

Access to spiritual care is also part of the philosophy of Bear Cottage and we liaise with many of the religious communities in the local area. 

If you would like to meet with either our social worker or a spiritual care provider during your stay at Bear Cottage, please let a member of the nursing staff know and we will arrange a suitable time.
