We work closely with NHS crisis services to provide practical and emotional support, to help people through the issues or problems that are causing their distress.
Who we’re here for
We support adults who are in mental health crisis due to practical situations that are impacting their lives, such as the cost-of-living crisis, debt or financial worries, housing issues, or relationship difficulties.
The support we offer
We offer:
- A listening ear.
- Short-term support, tailored to the issues you are facing.
- Support to make informed decisions.
- Links to other support and services.
Initial support is over the telephone and can be followed up face-to-face, depending on your needs.
If we connect you to other services, we can support you to attend initial appointments and help you to gain the confidence to access activities and services.
