Why We Signpost to Other Resources

Our main aim is to support people through crisis. It is also important for us to empower clients and allow them to regain some control over their mental health. We understand that give them the tools or connections to avoid being at risk in the future.

There are lots of resources and techniques which can help you manage your mental health. Your mental health is as unique as you are, which does mean that you might find some of these resources don’t work for you. And that’s totally ok. It simple means you need to try something else and see if that works for you better. You may even find that different tools help more at different times. It’s all about trial and error and developing a bank of tools that work for you.
