Ask for support in a way that feels safe
You can begin with a brief message
You do not have to describe every difficult experience in your first enquiry. Tell us that you would like to discuss emotional wellbeing or psychosocial support, your district and a safe way to contact you.
If contacting us for someone else, involve them in the conversation where possible and respect their choices and privacy.
