How can I get help?
We are not attached to any medical or psychiatric service. If you think you would benefit from the services we offer, please feel free to contact us yourself.
Carers of people with mental health problems are also welcome to contact us on their behalf.
How long can I get help for?
Contact with the project is not time limited. We can support you for a short period of time to help wiht a specific life event, or you may find that help is needed for several months. Support is on a solution focused basis which is client led.
Please remember that once help is no longer needed, you are very welcome to contact us again at any time should you need to.
What happens next?
Project staff will meet with you either at home or in a mutually agreed public place, usually a cafe. This will give you a chance to find out more about how we can help you and to discuss with someone what your needs are.
