Crisis and Support Resources
Sometimes, situations arise where we feel in need of urgent support, whether a listening shoulder or urgent support such as for suicide crises. When you can't reach your therapist or counsellor, or when the need is too urgent for them to handle, it is important to know that there are other resources available to you.
