living with a mental illness, we have developed a database listing various organisations/individuals and their services.

We are also aware of the need for personal contact in times of stress.  This is particularly relevant with a person's initial exposure to mental health and all of its challenges.  Because of this, our goal is to develop a physical presence for one-on-one meetings to do all we can to assist in seeking the most suitable support as everyone has different needs.
