I have set up this site to share thoughts, ideas and ways to access support and advice.

This might be ways to support your mental health, links to useful websites and services or sharing tips and success stories. For many years I have worked supporting people around their mental health difficulties, to recognise and leave abusive and violent relationships and to access local support services.

I feel passionate about speaking out for people whose voices are often not heard and trying to help people access what they are entitled to, what might help them and how to move forward when they are stuck.

I do not think I know it all, I just hope that be reading this blog may help you to take steps towards positive change. Please leave comments about what you would like to hear about and what might be helpful for future posts?

I’m hoping to be able to provide ideas of places to turn to that could be useful, just as I would have when supporting someone on a one to one basis.

We all have to start somewhere and we all need help at times.
