Mental Health and Distressed Callers

Over the many calls we receive we often encounter distressed people who through the toll of hardship, suffering or ongoing trust issues become more susceptible to mental ill health.

It is important to prepare and think about positive actions to handle multiple outcomes but to do so in a proactive way and not involve yourself in negative self-talk.

Mind is a very helpful organisation and as part of our new protocol, where we find clients that our particular in a state of distress, we will recommend that they contact Mind and will be actively supporting the charity with fund raising and donations.
