Between rising costs, ongoing uncertainty and the day-to-day pressures of running a business or keeping things going at home, a lot of people are carrying more than usual. It’s not always something that gets talked about openly but it’s there.
If things are weighing more heavily than usual, you’re certainly not alone. A small step can make a real difference, whether that means having a coffee with a neighbour, mate or colleague, going for a short walk, or starting a conversation you might otherwise put off.
If you or someone you know needs more support, any connection is a good connection. Several excellent services are available, including those listed below, and they are all completely free.
