We can help you:
-
For someone who is depressed or anxious often these behaviours are not easy to live with and cause great distress to close family or friends. As a consequence family and friends often withdraw their support or simply stop trying to help.
​​
-
Most people with depression or anxiety need someone else to help them get the assistance they require.
​​
-
People in the workplace will often feel that it is not their place to comment on someone’s personal problems. Therefore, it is important for employees / employers to recognise the signs and symptoms of depression or anxiety and feel confident to respond appropriately.
