calm cool connected

We all have times when life feels heavy or uncertain.
What matters most is knowing you’re not alone, and that help is close by.

Here you’ll find useful ways to check in, reach out and connect with support that’s confidential, local and kind.

There’s no single way to take care of yourself - but small steps can make a big difference.

If things don’t feel right - in yourself, your home, or someone close - don’t wait.
That’s your sign to pause, talk, and reach out for help.

These topics are here to help you understand what might be going on, and to connect you with trusted support.

Support is closer than you think.

When worry or sadness take over

Everyone has tough days - times when worries won’t switch off or when everything feels heavy and flat.

 

If your mind keeps racing, or you’re just getting through the day without much joy, it might be time to pause and reach out.

 

You don’t have to face it alone - there are small steps and supports that can help you start feeling lighter again.

 

Learn more about what helps and where to find support.

When home doesn’t feel safe

If you feel unsafe, unheard or constantly on edge, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault.


There are people who will believe you and help you find safety.

When food or body thoughts take over

 

Worrying about food, exercise or your body can start small - but over time, those thoughts can take up too much space.

 

If eating, appearance or guilt around food are controlling how you feel, there’s support that can help you find balance again.

When coping becomes the problem

 

Coping can look like many things - drinking more, zoning out online, pushing through without rest.


If those habits leave you feeling worse instead of better, it’s not a failure - it’s a signal to reach out.


You deserve support and a healthier way forward.

Navigating parenthood

Becoming a parent can bring big changes - and it’s normal to feel emotional or overwhelmed.


But if sadness or anxiety don’t fade, or if you’re finding it hard to bond, you don’t have to face it on your own.


Support is available for you and your family.
