Social Health Connect (SHC) is for adults who are over 18 years old and have unmet social needs negatively impacting on their health and wellbeing, and who live in the Redcliffe, Caboolture or Kilcoy hospital catchments.

A UK wide study exploring the impact on caregivers of those living with Dravet Syndrome has revealed that 90% were unable to continue working due to the sense of ‘constant struggle’ and impact on their mental well-being and quality of life. 💭 The findings also showed that only 1 in 10 families were offered family counselling as a means of working through the life-changing effects of the condition. The study was conducted by Dravet Syndrome UK and a team of leading researchers at the University of Glasgow. A huge thank you to all those families in our community who shared their experiences and contributed to this important research.
