Welcome Home - Heart Failure
Support and Understanding - from people who have been there
Living with heart failure - or returning home after you have been discharged from the hospital - can feel overwhelming.
Welcome Home Heart Failure is a pee support programme designed to connect you with trained volunteers who truly understand what you are going through - because they have been there too.
What the Programme offers:
-
One-to-one conversations with trained peers with lived experience
-
Signposting to trusted information
-
Emotional reassurance and understanding
-
Support that fits alongside your NHS/HSC care
Who the programme is for:
-
People living with heart failure
-
Family members, carers and loved ones
What peer support means:
Peer support is not medical advice. It is about listening, understanding, and reassurance - complementing the care provided by your healthcare team.
Our volunteers are trained to:
-
Listen without judgement
-
Respect your pace, needs, and boundaries
-
Share lived experience, where helpful
-
Support - not advise or replace medical care
You do not have to go through this alone. Whether you are newly diagnosed or further along your journey, we are here to listen.
