In Crisis

Your Support Worker is here to help

Struggling to cope doesn’t look or feel the same in everyone but we want you to know that we are here to listen and help if you’re not feeling great or struggling to cope.

We understand that personal crisis can occur for a whole range of reasons. Whatever the reason, your support worker is committed to working alongside you to listen without judging and to help you find the solutions and support that you need.

Personal Crisis takes many forms, below are just some of the issues we can support you through:

• Suicidal thoughts or self-harming
• Family problems
• Debt
• Issues around physical health or mental wellbeing
• Bereavement
• Bad news
• Recent or historic trauma or abuse
• Drug or alcohol problems
• Relationship breakdown
• Problems with the law
• Loneliness
• Just not coping with what life is throwing at you at the moment
• Feeling anxious, stressed, angry or overwhelmed
• Feeling desperate and not knowing where to turn for help
• The list could go on!
