Reaching out
- A family doctor or general practitioner can refer you to mental health services.
- Universities and many employers offer free, confidential counselling.
- Telling one person you trust what is happening is often the hardest and most useful step.
- You do not need the right words. Saying that you are struggling is enough to start.
