This section describes the support that the charity offers: Facebook, email and telephone.
It also provides some other resources that you may find helpful.

We have a Facebook page where you’ll find the latest news about both the charity and research into ICP.
ICP Support runs various support forums on Facebook. Posts are monitored by a team of volunteer moderators, but any member of an individual group can post and comment. For more information about these groups, click on the link below:

For support by email, contact supportline@icpsupport.org. We do not answer emails at the weekend or on public holidays, but will answer your question as soon as we are able to.
-
If you would like to talk to someone about ICP you can call our Support and Information Line. Our befrienders are not counsellors, nor can they make a diagnosis or give you advice about what to do, but they have all had the condition and know what it’s like to experience that awful itching in pregnancy, so they can listen and empathise and share what helped them to get through an ICP pregnancy.
UK telephone number
Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 am – 2 pm: 07939 871929We will endeavour to answer calls quickly, but sometimes you will get through to voicemail. Please don’t let that put you off – the phone is checked regularly, so either leave a message or text and we will get back to you.
The Support and Information Line is closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
