This Mental Health Awareness Week, we asked our community a simple but important question around this year’s theme, “Action”: Do local services make it easy for you to take part?
Your responses showed that many people are still unsure about what support is available and how accessible local services really are. This leaves people feeling isolated and overlooked - and no one should feel that way when seeking support. That’s why we want to take this opportunity to highlight our services that are here to help.
We provide specialist psychological support through our psychologist, Kirstie Rees, who understands the unique challenges faced by people with cerebral palsy and can provide tailored support in a safe and understanding space. To find out more today, call 0141 352 5000 or email [email protected]
