In a special edition of Soundbites, our Clinical Negligence team’s Amy Fielding meets Peeps relationship officer Penny Harger to learn more about the only UK-based charity dedicated to helping support families affected by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).
A lack of oxygen and blood flow to the brain, HIE is a serious brain injury in newborns which can happen to anyone and is impossible to predict. Peeps works to support parents, families and friends of those who have experienced an HIE event.
This episode explores two of the key services provided by Peeps:
- peer support, where HIE parents and families are connected to others who have had a similar experience and can chat on a confidential basis, and
- counselling, made available through Peeps much faster than via the NHS on average and guaranteeing connection to a correctly qualified counsellor.
Penny explains how she became involved at Peeps and the process for first making contact with the charity. This is an invaluable discussion both for those directly or indirectly affected by HIE, and for anybody interested in learning more about the work Peeps does.
