­You have been directed to the Family Psychological Support Service because you have experienced something difficult. The impact of such events can be wide reaching and you may not always understand some of the feelings and effects. We have shared some common experiences, whilst acknowledging that everyone is unique. We will work with you to design a bespoke support package that meets your individual needs and experience.

At times your experience may lead you to feel that life is not worth living or that you wish to end your life.
