First Steps to Support is a free and anonymous phoneline, email and sms service to help you, your friends, and family with life’s stresses.
NHS run First Steps to Support is a phoneline available to Surrey residents ages 18 and over where you can speak to a friendly Wellbeing Advisor to get the help you need. The service doesn’t have access to and will not add anything to your medical records.
There are many things that cause us to not feel ourselves. This could be family worries, health concerns, money concerns, bereavement and everything in between, and it’s not always easy to know where to turn for help. Many people turn to family or friends and whilst this can at times be helpful, often it’s more beneficial to talk to an impartial and trained person. Trained and friendly NHS advisors will take the time to listen to you and work out what is affecting your wellbeing. They will guide you to the right support and services and to people who will be able to help you find a way forward.
When things start to get too tough, no matter how small your worries, it’s better to seek help early.
People who have already contacted the service found that speaking to a Wellbeing Advisor was very reassuring and informative. For those who are feeling negative about life or experiencing anxiety that has started to build up, they have found it invaluable to have a calm conversation with someone who understands and can help.
There is no waiting list so you can take the first step and get help quickly. The service is here to help you, your friends and your family to get started today.
Call a wellbeing advisor today and find out how to get the right support and ease the pressure.
