HELP AND SUPPORT
On this page you will find phone numbers and email addresses if you feel insecure, vulnerable or simply want to talk (this is in two parts, the first part is mental health, the second part is for disability). Alternatively, you can talk to me on the chat here, I will listen and reply. In case no one has told you lately, you are amazing, strong, brave, wonderful, kind, loved, worthy, and there is no one like you. The world needs you.
