Information service
Our Information Service provides free support materials for anyone who is going through a difficult time, or for people who are supporting someone they love and care about.
We have information officers who are on hand during working hours to answer your calls, live chat and emails.
It's important to note we don't offer a counselling or clinical service, neither can we recommend GPs or counsellors, but we can point you in the right direction to get the help you need. We also assist those working in the mental health sector to find books, research and resources to help with professional practice.
