Resources

If you need support…

If you're struggling or feeling overwhelmed, please know you're not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Reaching out can feel difficult, but connecting with others can be an important first step.

Consider speaking to someone you trust—your GP, a family member, a friend, or someone within your community. Often, the people already in your life want to support you and may be more ready to listen than you think.

If you’ve reached out and still feel like you need some extra support, I’ve put together a list of resources below that may help guide you towards the care you need.
