Sometimes people can work through their own difficulties with the aid of self-help materials. Whilst there are many books available, there are also tools online. The most comprehensive site providing self-help materials is Get Self Help. It's not the easiest site to navigate, but there is a lot of information that you may find helpful. Mindfulness Podcasts
The Mental Health Foundation is a fantastic resource for information and advice. They also have several free and easily accessible mindfulness podcasts which you can play directly from your computer or phone. The Samaritans
A 24/7 helpline service which gives you a safe space where you can talk about what is happening, how you are feeling, and how to find your own way forward. Samaritans’ volunteers are ordinary people from all walks of life who understand that there are sometimes things that you just cannot talk about to the people around you. They know that very often, with some time and space, people are able to find their own solution within themselves. Urgent Support - Home Treatment Team
