Re: Desperate

Hello @Star4 

Sorry to hear that things are that tough.  Keep looking and trying for help.

can you google support workers in your area... there might also be safe havens

We are not really a referral space

Look around

the forums can offer some social support, but housing is important to get sorted.

Take Care and let us know how you go..

Re: Desperate

Hey @Star4  

 

id really encourage you to pop into the safe haven that @Appleblossom  shared the link to. There is one in my local area, which I have visited and I found it really helpful. It’s run by peer workers and they will have all kinds of knowledge of the local area and will be able to put you in contact with some of the services that @Peregrinefalcon  mentioned. You will also get some immediate support by just going there and talking with someone who can relate to what you are experiencing. 

wishing you the best
