Support and Crisis Resources
The people who look fine are often the ones who need support the most. If something in this work has resonated — for you, or for someone in your team — the organisations below offer confidential support, crisis intervention, and longer-term care. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out. Sometimes the bravest thing is making the call before it gets that far.
