SHaRON
We can provide you with 24/7 peer support and expert advice through our private and confidential ‘Support Hope and Recovery Online Network’ (SHaRON).
Our groups support:
- Young people with eating disorders
- Families of young people with or waiting for an assessment for autism
- New mums with mental health difficulties
- Partners and carers of a new mum with mental health difficulties
If you can’t find a current group that meets your needs, keep checking back on our website as we’ll be introducing new groups throughout 2019.
Our SHaRON network is a secure and confidential place for you to find support when you need it. It’s only available to people who’ve been referred. And everyone signs in using a secure username to keep their identity anonymous.
Once you’ve been referred, you’ll be able to talk to other people going through similar difficulties as you. You can also talk to our moderating team, which includes experienced clinicians, former service users and partners from the voluntary sector.
If we think it’s necessary, we’ll keep an eye on your mood and the progress you’re making. We’ll look for any changes that could suggest a relapse and make sure you get help when you need it.
To access SHaRON, you’ll need to be referred by your GP or healthcare professional.

Once we’ve received your referral, our expert teams will assess whether or not SHaRON is the right place for you to find support.
If your referral is approved, you’ll be given access to the network.
