Our new and free Young People's Counselling Service launches on 01 April 2024!
Young people aged 13-18, with either suspected or diagnosed ME, are able to access up to 12 sessions with our counsellors, who understand the impact ME can have on a young person and are here to listen and ensure they get the support they need.
Find out what other services we offer for children and young people here.
We're working to ensure adults, children, young people and families living with the illness are supported during this unprecedented time, and beyond. Get connected to Action for M.E. services, support and resources by phone, email and online, including peer-support and services local to you.
Our Information, Support and Advocacy team are here for anyone living with ME of any age, anywhere in the UK. We can offer understanding and empathy, source practical assistance local to you, and advocate for your needs, as well as sharing information and support about all aspects of living with ME, for adults, parents, children and young people.
We have two forums for adults: ME Friends Online, open to anyone over 18 affected by ME, including carers; and our Parent/Carer Forum, for parents, carers and guardians of young people with ME. If you're aged 18 or under, you can join our young person's community for free, and make friends in our Young People's Forum.
