Support and Hope for Parents of Exhausted Children, Teens, and Young Adults

Helping your child reclaim their energy, confidence, and future

If you’re here, it’s likely your child or teen is stuck in a cycle of extreme tiredness, low energy, or even post-viral fatigue or Long COVID. You’ve tried resting, doctors, supplements… but nothing seems to shift it.

You're not imagining things. You're not overreacting. And you're not alone.

The New Pathways Programme is here to help.

How to break the cycle of chronic illness

What We Do

We specialise in helping young people aged 12–25 recover from fatigue-related conditions—including chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME), post-viral fatigue, and Long COVID.

Our approach is holistic, evidence-informed, and effective. We focus on calming the nervous system, restoring confidence, rebuilding resilience, and supporting full recovery.

Whether your child has been struggling for a few months or several years, there is a path forward.

Our in-depth New Pathways Information Pack walks you through:

✅ What fatigue-related conditions look like in children and teens

✅ Why conventional rest or pacing alone isn’t enough

✅ How our programme supports full recovery—even after months or years of struggle

✅ Success stories from real families

✅ FAQs and next steps

“We were stuck… now we have our daughter back”

“The New Pathways Programme gave us clarity and hope when we felt lost.

After months of fatigue, our daughter now has her life back—and so do we.”
— Parent of 15-year-old, recovered from post-viral fatigue

Does This Sound Familiar?

Many parents we work with share the same concerns:

- “My child is constantly tired and has no energy.”
- “They’ve missed school for months and we don’t know what to do.”
- “GPs say to rest, but it’s not helping.”
- “They seem anxious, overwhelmed, and socially withdrawn.”
- “We just want our child back.”

We understand how frightening and frustrating this can be. That’s why our programme is designed for families—not just the young person—so you’re supported too.
