Jill's expertise in working within the voluntary sector, added to her knowledge and experience of 20 years teaching gives her a head-start if you are looking for a lecturer to explain:

• Working with young volunteers at a distance
• A successful route to starting up a charity
• What is M.E. and how to explain it to your child/doctor/teacher/partner/parent/etc
• How to manage energy and achieve recovery, whatever your age

Workshops and paper reviews

Jill will arrange interactive workshops on any of the above titles. If you have a different title in mind, or require the reasonable lecture rates from Jill, then email on jill@sunbowservices.co.uk
Documents and manuals referring to children and young people can be difficult to ensure that you are reaching and empowering your young audience. Once again Sunbow Services can help.

• Consultative work undertaken on management manuals involved in treatments for children with ME.

"Jill Moss has worked as a consultant on a project that has sought to write accessible management guides for CFS/ME in adolescents, drawn from research work on effective treatments.

She has worked with a multidisciplinary team for York's STAIRway to Health programme, providing clear, down to earth advice that has ensured that the perspective of the young person and family is at the centre of the management.

She has ensured that the guides represent a welcome coming together of clinical expertise with a knowledge of CFS/ME from the point of view of the young person and their family. The result is a pragmatic and helpful set of guides for therapist, young person and parents/carers for the STAIRway to Health programme." Dr. Barry White
