You Are Not Alone

The festive season is upon us and for many of us this is a time of happiness and joy. However, for some this is a time filled with sadness and loneliness. 

The Christmas season may have you feeling stressed, alone or helpless but I want you to know you  don't need to be any of those things. 

If you feel like you need help this Christmas - whether it be you are ready to make a change, you need help or you just need to talk - please pick up the phone. Below you will find a list of numbers and websites for your use. 

Remember, you are not alone.
