We can also provide support and information to friends, family, carers, and professionals.
WHAT WE DO: Our Helpline provides anonymous and confidential person centred wellbeing support through telephone, text, or web chat. Our team will listen to you and help you navigate the most useful support for you at that time – whether this be emotional and or practical support. The team can access a wide variety of online self-care tools and resources, which they can explore with you and if appropriate, signpost you to other sources of support both nationally and within Gloucestershire.
