Worried about Someone?
Even if you are close to someone, it can sometimes be hard to tell how much emotional pain they are in and whether they need help; and it can be equally as hard recognising it in yourself. Often, it’s something small that can make you think something isn’t quite right – often that hunch will be right. You might see it in yourself or in someone else, or someone could see it in you. There is a range of services and support available to help when you are worried about someone else or yourself.
