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, offering guidance, support and advice without judgement. They have dedicated counsellors available anytime to talk to anyone who is struggling.
They offer a number of resources from videos and podcasts to planners and online reading material 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. Appointments can be booked directly online, by phone or by the app.
