Support At Christmas Time with Time for Talking
The holiday period can be a happy time of the year for some, celebrating with family and friends and enjoying the good cheer, whilst for others, it can be a difficult and poignant time. Whether it’s the stress of family situations or having money worries, it’s important to know that you are not alone and there are a number of areas of support that can be helpful, even if it is just to have a natter with another person.
Time for Talking (TfT) the Councils Employee Assistance Provider, can assist with those over whelming moments, just by listening or offering advice without judgement.
They offer a number of resources, from blogs and podcasts to videos, planners and online information on their website.
You can contact them 365 days a year, including Christmas Day, via their website www.timefortalking.co.uk, by phone on 0800 970 3980, by app (downloaded from the app store or google play) or chat online to a counsellor through their Live Chat using the password TfTnow
All chats are totally confidential, you don’t need to give their name or email address unless you want to.
