Helping You Help Yourself
The Helping You Help Yourself service is a flexible and free service aimed at helping you with your practical and emotional needs and is available to anyone aged 16 years and over. You tell us how we can best support you.
Maybe you need support to overcome practical issues – such as debt or housing problems - which are negatively affecting your emotional state? Or perhaps you want to learn techniques to help you manage anger or anxiety. How about understanding more about your behavior so you can change unhelpful patterns in your life?
Whatever you want from your sessions, our experienced and confidential team will be there to listen to your concerns and help you achieve the things you want in your life.
The Helping You Help Yourself service aims to reduce the number of people who reach crisis point and increase the ability of individuals to manage their own mental health and wellbeing.
