Crisis moments take many shapes: feeling worthless, not knowing how to cope, being bullied - and lots of other things.  Everyone will have a different point when they get to a crisis.

Whatever the reason, it's important to know that nobody has to be alone or try to carry on with increasing thoughts of "nobody cares" .

Help is available from different sources.

What Help Can You Get

A valuable way of dealing with a crisis affecting your mental health is to share it with a trained and confidential listener.
