What are the first steps to take?
1
Ensure you are in a safe space. If that is not at home, or you are experiencing homelessness, try going to a friends house, go to your local library, community centre, community wellness hub or hospital to make a few calls.
2
Work out your priorities based on what you need most. Is it accomodation, access to food, talking to a professional for mental health support, contacting a financial counsellor or lawyer, or even just having a shower?
3
Use our external services guide to get you started. Contact all of the service providers you can in order of your priorities. Remember, it's going to be hard and you may want to give up but it's important that you don't. You can and will get through this.

If you are not in immediate urgency for support, you can request a non-urgent referral assessment where we can contact you either over the phone or in person to help where we can to link you to the right services unique to your situation.
*Due to the high number of enquiries, please only submit this request if you are experiencing a non-urgent crisis. We will be in contact with you as soon as possible to help support your next steps.
