📢 Calling all dads, brothers, grandparents, and any male relatives in the Rett UK community... 📢
Don't miss our first session of the newly revamped 'Rett Gents' tomorrow evening 🤩

🗓️ Thursday 3rd April
⏰ 20:00 - 21:00
🔗 Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/33854098519?p=mQFKnFo3nBncXhvMxJ

You might have seen we have rebranded our 'Beer & Banter' discussion sessions in 2025! We feel the title 'Rett Gents', better reflects all the roles that dads and male relatives play in the lives of someone with Rett syndrome and the importance of these informal online meet ups 💜

We appreciate that having a family member with Rett syndrome impacts not only the immediate family but also wider members (siblings, grandparents and friends), so we now encourage any male relative in our Rett UK community to come along and share your experiences and get support!

Each online call is an opportunity to share your experiences, discuss different topics and day-to-day tips, meet some of the key professionals involved with your daughters and sons, and most importantly talk to other dads, brothers, grandparents in our Rett UK community 💚

This week's topic of discussion is: holidays/activities 🏝️🧳

📣 Launching The Rett UK Counselling Service 📣

Thanks to your amazing support with the Big Give Christmas Challenge, Rett UK is pleased to be working in partnership with Rareminds, to offer a new free, confidential counselling service for individuals and family members aged 18+ impacted by Rett syndrome 🥳

As living with Rett syndrome happens within the context of your everyday life, it’s inevitable that the ‘ups and downs’ of both impact each other. You can talk to our counsellors about anything that you are struggling with in living with the emotional impact of Rett syndrome 💜

It’s not always easy to access counselling. Our counsellors provide a safe, confidential relationship to work through difficult thoughts or feelings with you, and explore new ways of approaching your difficulties 🥰

If you are interested in accessing the Rett UK Counselling Service please contact our Family Support Manager Julie for more information!
📧 Email Julie at: julie.benson@rettuk.org

Any questions please get in touch 💚
